    It is a disease caused by inhaling asbestos. It has nothing to do with female sex issues however it is a slow death issue for those that ingested asbestos. The average life span is around 20 to 25 years.. Congress passed a law that a person exposed to asbestos has to file a clam before 15 years after exposure when it usually shows up after 15 years. Why greed money from the lobbyist keeping companies that knew for years but exposed there people to this death sentence so that they could maximize there profits. Many people and families are getting screwed because of Congresses greed.

    a type of lung cancer, usually associated with men who have worked with asbestos

    wives have been known to contract it as well, after having to wash their husband’s work clothing with asbestos fibres in it

    my dad used to work in ship engine rooms and the asbestos would be like snow in the air – he would use a rag to cover his face (no safety equipment then) and the other boilermakers would laugh at him – they are all dead now

    Mesothelioma is a lung infection from asbestos fibers that Impact the lungs. In the fifties a Doctor was studying the disease from miners and ship workers from the forties. He found something odd. All people who worked in certain mines and ships were infected with asbestos fibers. These do not break down in the body but, rather impact and form a nodule that can be a secondary cause of cancer along with the irritation of cigarette smoke.
    It was found in the mills today that used this asbestos as fire retardant so, the mills that used asbestos came under the guns. Many of the employees were coming down with secondary lung cancer that followed in some.

    There is and never was a connection to sex in any way.
