Oh for fuck sake is this another thing you have to wear a mask for?
My fucking dad I swear to god. He knows I got asthma. He had me install insulation as a kid and remove asbestos. I got fucking tinnitus from him giving me a drill and neither of us wearing hearing protection.
Mineral wool is quite safe. Some of the old stuff (pre-1960s) had asbestos or problems with being flammable but the new stuff gets checked for size and how much fiber goes into the air and so on (the answer is very little). Like paint it is one of the things that harmed people and science and regulation got us better products.

Yeah fam if you haven’t already you should get your lungs screened. Asbestos and insulation can cause some really bad stuff
The time of exposure was low. Asbestos was also outside and unbroken.
Insulation was only 1 attic.

That dude’s hands are gonna itch though.
You’ll be fine…also the fuck type of drill where you using that required ear pro? Were you drilling holes in sheet steel?
Hammer/rotary on a concrete. It’s fucking loud.
Yea pretty much.
Put a shower pipe through a brick wall.
I wear ear pro when I use my impact driver, especially in confined spaces. I don’t need to make my tinnitus worse than it already is.
Did he also recommend smoking Kent Micronite cigarettes?
