I never knew asbestos grows in the wild.

"CARSON CITY — The discovery of naturally occurring asbestos in and
around Boulder City is delaying work on a $600 million highway bypass
around the community while the state Transportation Department tries
to figure out how to deal with the issue.

“Is this a showstopper?” asked Gov. Brian Sandoval during a Monday
meeting of the state Transportation Board. “This was a bomb that was
dropped.”

They should just close down the land within a hundred miles of it and
fence it off. If you just touch the asbestos rock you will eventually
die.

Sure. It's a mineral. That's where people got it. The fibers were
never made, but fire-proof stuff etc. was made from them. .

Talc is chemically the same, Mg3Si2O5(OH)4, but physically different,
and doesn't cause asbestosis. And there's a 3rd mineral that's also
like this, but I forget what.

They should either cover it with shrinkwrap, or pave it with blacktop.
Then they can dig it up.
