No need to freak out. I can't say whether or not it has asbestos but normally just an exposure or two won't harm you. It's those that have a lifetime of exposure that are prone to asbestos related illness. Asbestos is only harmful in a dry breathable form so if there is any left - wetting it first will minimize the danger.
