[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3085668, member: 109862"] Knew a guy from back when I pastored who was in his 70s and honestly looked much older. Had to wheel around a little oxygen tank with him everywhere and had a line running from it under his nose so he could constantly be breathing more oxygenated air than normal as he wasn't able to get enough out of ordinary air. The culprit was a lifetime of being around asbestos - he was a plumber/all purpose handyman and back in the day was one of the few guys around here with his boiler paper certification or whatever it is, so he worked with asbestos including applying it to pipes and stuff like that for his whole working life. It likely shaved a decade, maybe two, off of his life. Apparently what it does is binds up the red blood cells in such a way that they can't carry oxygen effectively. But that's a lot different than being exposed to it once when renovating an old building and panicking that you're gonna die now. [/QUOTE]
