Yes it was an ingredient in a LOT of things. No there's no need to STOP collecting things that bring you joy... just... don't put them in your orifices and wash your hands after playing with them. LOL Use gloves and pretend you work in a museum.Now if you had some radium items I'd tell you to ditch them quick - by calling the fire dept.!!! And celluloid dolls have to be stored carefully because HEAT=spontaneous combustion!!!! But vintage toys....? Don't lick them, don't file bits of them off and huff the dust, don't decorate a child's room with them... uhhhh I mean the usual safety precautions to life...
“Good news is, the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show a median latency of forty four point six years. So if you’re thirty or older, you’re laughing. Worst case scenario, you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, and it makes a happy face.” Thanks portal! But in all seriousness though, I think this is going to be safe, so long as you don’t stick the toys in your mouth, eyes or other holes. So no matter how good that lollipop accessory looks to eat, don’t eat it. And you should be washing your hands when you’re done touching it. Better yet, wear gloves. Now, if you told me you had extremely radioactive items, you can just leave those on the porch and I’ll pick em up and put them in my home. A little bit of radiation giving me a third eye never hurt.
You see, I started only recently collecting. I knew nothing of asbestos possibly being used in them so after I was informed of this I was worried it would come off them somehow into the air or from me touching it. I also have on multiple occasions touched them without gloves or washing my hands..
