If you’ve been on the internet for long enough, you’re probably familiar with the mesothelioma copypasta: “If you or a loved one was diagnosed with Mesothelioma you may be entitled to financial compensation.” The copypasta, which comes from a commercial for a Texas law firm and is addressing people who may have contracted mesothelioma from exposure to asbestos, ends by providing a number for patients to call.

One Redditor is probably going to want to write that number down, after his friend recently did a line of asbestos at a party.

Posting to r/asbestoshelp, the friend gets straight to the point: “Pretty much friend did a line of dust from a garage that was getting smashed up at a party because it was going to be demolished anyway. When the crew came to demolish it turns out the garage was mainly made of asbestos.” His question for the sub was simply: “How fucked is my mate?”

Commenters were surprised by the novel nature of the question — most people who post to the sub aren’t looking for help after willingly ingesting asbestos. Many pointed out that while everyone in the garage had some exposure, obviously the friend who snorted the stuff had the most, and ultimately, only a doctor can properly answer the question. In addition, asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma can take over two decades to show up, so it’s likely they won’t know the true damage for a long time.

Many agreed that the prognosis was probably fine, with one person commenting, “Unfortunately, stupidity isn’t always fatal. Your mate will live to breed.” Others pointed out that, “If they snorted a line of asbestos, they have been snorting a lot of other shit too. Partying is probably going to kill you before the asbestos will.”

People over in r/drugs weren’t as optimistic, with someone explaining, “Ultimately the worst thing you can do because you’re snorting concentrated asbestos instead of ‘some’ fibers flying in the air.” Others told OP to make sure his friend gets a vasectomy so he can’t reproduce, for the good of humanity.

I didn’t think it needed to be said, but since it apparently does: Don’t snort random dust you find in someone’s garage. At best, it’s just dust. At worst, it’s asbestos, and who wants to deal with cancer on top of a hangover?
