While this definitely is bad, I think people tend to be a bit unreasonable about this stuff.
Fiberglass is not asbestos, and by the way, asbestos is not uranium.
Do wear the proper PPE, yes, but also donโt be neurotic about it. Even full-time asbestos miners donโt always get related cancers. If you removed some without knowing, studies show youโll be fine. Your body can and does eliminate asbestos, albeit very slowly.
And again, fiberglass is not asbestos, and doesnโt cause mesothelioma. Itโs still not recommended to breathe it in, especially not on the regular, but you donโt need to live in fear of it.

You ever get fiberglass in your skin? Shit sucks.

Thankfully no, I do wear gloves and a mask when Iโm handling this stuff ! Im just saying itโs not going to kill you.

How have you managed not to get fibreglass on your skin when handling it?
I used to install it professionally, and even with goggles, a mask, and overalls tucked into your socks and gloves, that shit gets everywhere.

Iโm pretty sure I just havenโt handled large enough quantities of it for that to happen. Iโve never installed it myself, Iโve only had to take it down for minor roof repairs, and put it back if afterwards.
