Vermiculite danger?

It appears verm has hit the major media radar, I saw one of those class action lawsuit commercials today with "Vermiculite" as the culprit.
It pertains to verm insulation, but I'm not sure of other implications. Particularly recalling posters here telling how they ate verm cakes and had glitter shits.
Something to watch that will probably affect price if nothing else.

Probably, but it didn't occur to me until you said it. Good point.

If you ate wet asbestos, you're not going to end up with asbestosis. Same applies for vermiculite. It's breathing in the dust which could present the problem.

A mask would be a good idea when using a bunch of this stuff. Also, don't be a dumb ass and touch your face after handling it.

Many Verm processing places back in the day were processing verm with asbestos before they knew it was bad stuff, it was used in insulation, wallboard, flooring and all kinds of shit. When people started getting sick and dieing they figured out it was the asbestos. And have since banned processing verm that contains asbestos. Most of the verm that was contaminated with asbestos was coming from 1 or 2 places. There was just a whole hour show on discovery about this not to long ago. After all this time the epa hasn't made the company's that ran the plants do environmental clean up and people in near by towns are still getting sick and getting cancer. There are hundreds of class action lawsuits still ongoing. The company's have been dragging them out for years. The verm you get now will not have asbestos in it. My bags even say asbestos free right on the bag. I believe its against the law now to sell verm with Asbestos

Those websites are all set up by law offices to attract clientele, sueing for profit is such an underhanded thing to do.

I agree, if we all stop sueing each other the world would be a better more economically efficient place. Last words before I die from this verm.
