An exposure of as little as one or two months can result in mesothelioma 20 to 40 years later because of the long latency period of the disease. The symptoms of all types of mesothelioma do not generally manifest for several decades after contraction. This can make the disease difficult to diagnose and all too often is too late to save the patient by the time a diagnosis is made. Unfortunately, the average life span of an inflicted person from the time of diagnosis until death is less than 24 months.
