The Mesothelioma Victims Center says, "Women get mesothelioma too, and frequently it is because of second-hand exposure."
While true, about one-third of people who will be diagnosed with mesothelioma this year will be US Navy Veterans, what does not get mentioned is the wives of workers who were exposed to asbestos at a workplace like an oil refinery, factory, or a shipyard that brought their asbestos home every night on their clothing. The Center has been talking with victims like these for nearly a decade, and they are offering to help anyone in this situation who call 866-714-6466 or visit http://MesotheliomaVictimsCenter.Com.
The Center says, "It is literally the worst phone call we get, when family calls us and says, 'we don't know how mom could have gotten mesothelioma, or how she could have been exposed to asbestos.' Our immediate response is to ask what type of work her husband did during the 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s. More often than not it turns out that the husband's workplace was a power plant in New York, or an auto manufacturing assembly line in Michigan, an oil refinery in Texas, or a shipyard in California."
The part the Mesothelioma Victims Center wants to emphasize is that diagnosed victims who were exposed to asbestos by their husband or partner receive just as significant of compensation amounts as the actual employee who brought the asbestos home on their clothing.

From the American Cancer Society's website on mesothelioma, "Family members of asbestos workers can also be exposed to higher levels of asbestos because the fibers can be carried home on the workers' clothing, and can then be inhaled by others in the household."
