Decades ago we would not have even thought to wear gloves when we

Yes. I remember a plumber doing a repair on a pipe at work. He was
tearing off the asbestos insulation with a cigarette hanging out of his
mouth.

How about brake shops back in the day blowing off brakes with an air hose,
dust flying everywhere, with no dust masks or containment.

Cough, cough, cough - it is just allergies.
In public school we used asbestos and plaster of paris in art class
- - - as a "modelling clay"

I don't remember the asbestos part but we used plaster of paris. Never
thought about it... Asbestos is part of talc.
SOME talc contains asbestos. Talc and Asbestos are 2 very different
products, but Talc and Asbestos are often found very close toeach
other, and some talc mined is contaminated with Asbestos
