A killer job

When I was at my dad’s house the other night, he was talking about how one of his friends had Asbestos cancer which is a rare form of cancer that affects people who are exposed to the toxins found in Asbestos. I was kind of confused since I know what Asbestos was from watching Extreme Home Makeover but I didn’t know it actually caused a form of cancer called Mesothelioma. It turns out that a lot of people in trades related to construction such as plumbers, pipe fitters, electricians, and the like are at risk of getting Mesothelioma. My dad is also an electrician but he works in at a plant instead of working in houses but his friend is an electrician that people hire to fix things in their houses. It turns out that a neighborhood that the city has been revamping had a lot of houses that did have Asbestos hence the need to revamp them. Evidently during the revamp which his friend was a big part of, he got the cancer.
