Health anxiety after buying a new house and losing my parents.

I moved into a new house and found out the texture in the walls has asbestos. Fortunately it’s only 2%... but we had contractors do work and they fit through it causing dust. We only found out after they did this. I was so so uneasy and hired an asbestos abatement company to clean the area. Tests were taken after and it appeared there was no airborne asbestos. Since I have been very worried still. If I see any dust I’m looking at it with a flashlight worrying more has settled. It’s ineveitable some wrk will need to be done in this 1950’s home- but I’m worrying excessively about it and can’t enjoy it. Then I saw a hoarders where they mentioned hantavirus from rat/mouse droppings and now am so afraid to clean it- I’m worried I’ll get sick from any of these things. I’ve even gotten worried being outside as the squirrels drop pecans and maybe their saliva could land on me and maybe they have rabies. It’s gettibg exhausting. I lost my dad when I was 20 and my mom last year at 34. I struggled watching them suffer and put a lot of pressure and blame on myself for not being able to “fix “ them. I’m now left so fearful if anything that could cause illness as I don’t want to go into a hospital as they did for so so long.
