Deadly Mesothelioma

Do you readily recognize the word mesothelioma? Some unlucky residents of a small town in Italy now know what mesothelioma means as well.

If you are from the Northeast, you probably associate the word mesothelioma with asbestos victims and the old Johns Manville Corporation. Employees used to describe the dust level they worked in to be tantamount to "a pick-up truck on a dirt road", claiming there "was dust all over that building".

I started working there when I was very young. I realized later, how fortunate I was that I quit after only a few weeks. Others weren't so lucky.

An update on where the deadly disease of mesothelioma is making a new appearance.
