ASBESTOS, MESOTHELIOMA CANCER, AND MESOTHELIOMA LAWYERS

Background on mesothelioma 

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is more dangerous than all cancerous infections for its malignant signs and symptoms. Mesothelioma cancer is a rare infection and its occurrences are worldwide. 

Mesothelioma is an umbrella of several other cancerous diseases affecting a lining (tissue) that covers organs called ‘Mesothelium’. Hence it is the name Mesothelioma. The lungs, heart, and abdomen are mostly to be attacked by Mesothelioma.    However, medical research and diagnoses indicate that the lungs are highly risked of Mesothelioma, a disease called pleural mesothelioma. Other types of mesothelioma are peritoneal cancer (a disease that attacks the lining of the abdominal organs), testicular cancer (it forms in the tissue of the testes called tunica vaginalis), and pericardial cancer (a disease that develops in the tissue of the heart).

Asbestos is a natural mineral that causes mesothelioma cancer

Mesothelioma develops exceptionally due to exposure to asbestos-made consumer products such as cement, paper, cloth, and insulators. Inhaling and ingesting asbestos dust also lead to mesothelioma. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral and its qualities attract attention to manufacturing industries. Asbestos is flexible and resistant material to heat, electricity, and corrosion.  Hence the mineral is added to cement, paper, cloth, etc. to improve the flexibility and durability of the product.

Effect period of asbestos 

It takes decades for asbestos to become too toxic to a human body after its initial exposure and consumption. Asbestos fibres cause tumours and inflammation that consequently disturb genetic operations. Once this happens, the victim starts to experience progressive and resistant signs and symptoms.

Signs and symptoms of mesothelioma cancer   

The following are the common signs and symptoms of mesothelioma cancer:                                                                                                ·         Chest pain; in mesothelioma cancer, this sign is caused by tumours and fluid buildup on the specified organs.

·         Shortness of breath

·         Fatigue (extreme tiredness); fatigue includes, being physically weaker than usual, tiredness despite rest, and mental tired and moody.

·         High temperature and sweating, especially at night

·         Persistent cough

Persistent cough also influences other symptoms such as wheezing, chest tightness, and shortened breathing.

·         Loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss

·         Clubbed or swollen fingertips 

 Cancer crises and litigations 

Despite natural and chemical causal incidents of human diseases particularly cancerous infections such as Mesothelioma, Leukemia, lung cancer, etc. negligence and ignorance in the production and consumption of artificial products such as food, paper, and clothes, for example, also perpetuate the incidences of cancer. Hence individuals and companies that are lax in producing products that interfere with personal and public health are accountable for the lawsuit. Negligence of all the possible human behaviours that influence the occurrence of cancer is one of the justified reasons for suing anyone involved in the court.

Negligence can be practised in several ways. For example, corporations are mostly intended to attract and maintain loyalty in customers by manufacturing high-quality products. In the long run, companies make some mistakes such as using harmful additives or improper packaging. These incidents impose harm on an individual’s health and are justified for court appeals. Litigation also becomes an issue when health personnel makes delays in diagnosing people associated with cancer cases.
