From what I understand, asbestos is far worse. Fiberglass causes irritation but thatβs about it. Asbestos, while it takes its time, will eventually cause mesothelioma and you really donβt want that.
Really? Thatβs surprising. I would think inhaling a bunch of ground glass would severely damage your lungs, permanently.

Asbestos can get to such a fine point that it can literally physically cleave DNA. Edit: I think I am wrong about that, please see my comment below
