Every time I see someone touch oil or breathe in fumes or dust( or other dirty things), I always see “hes gonna get cancer” in comments. I always kind of just accepted it as truth, but do they actually give you cancer? like how can breathing in some dust make your cells divide weirdly and give you cancer?

Its about probabilities. For instance, one in a thousand might get cancer from Asbestos particles, but tha probablity is actually more like one chance in ten thousand years for one in one hundred thousand people. One’s immune system kills hundreds of potential threats daily perhaps, but misses one molecule once in your eighty year life span. Next day, you walk out of the door and a block of ice falls off of an airplane toilet and kills you. What was your chance of that happening?
