Listen, Big Bad Asbestos is not as bad when dealt with every once in a while in small quantity.
You need top work with it for a while and keep inhaling to get problems.
How many people do you know who had those old irons in 50-60s, who replaced the heating element multiple times, and for that you'd have to lif off that asbestos sheet covering the element, and the sheet often eventually start falling apart so you would put it back as two pieces next to each other - how many of them (which is pretty much every person who was concsious in those times) have asbestosis/mesothelioma? None. Except those who worked profesisonally removing asbestos and such without adequate protection.
