I ran to put on a mask, but it's possible I was still breathing the stuff as I worked in the mess.
Answers:Very unlikely you will have any problems. Do use a mask and be careful. It is long term exposure that usually the reason people have cancer from it. No guarantees.
Get the insulation tested to see if it has asbestos. Get professional asbestos abatement contractors to remove the insulation. This is very, very dangerous. A mask isn't good enough.
