How safe are Asbestos barrel change gloves???

[WarPig1976]

It takes years of exposure to Asbestos particulates before one needs to be concerned. It's very common to still find Asbestos in houses around here. Every other house has it as siding "including mine" and the others it was just covered with aluminum or vinyl. Everybody's basement floor is covered with tiles made from it. My first house built in the forties had the original boiler in wrapped in the stuff. I sprayed it with water, bagged it up and out with the regular garbage it went.
You'll be fine as long as you don't chew on the gloves.
