Mesothelioma is also known as “white lung.” A person contracts this illness by having hazardous contact with asbestos. Mesothelioma takes approximately 20 to 40 years, after the time of contact, to fully develop. However, it is quickly fatal, and painful, once the symptoms begin to occur.

Relatives of people who have worked with asbestos are also vulnerable to the disease. Children and spouses of asbestos workers have been known to contract mesothelioma from the dusty work clothes of their family member.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines mesothelioma as “a usually malignant tumor derived from the mesothelial tissue.”

Writing “mesothelioma” on the machine, syllable by syllable, would be as follows:
