    If you have asbestos, be prepared for a very expensive and lengthy method of elimination.
    Maybe move.

    it’s not necessary asbestos, unless they all have lung cancer
    check if your water pipes are old (lead), if there is mildew (in heating vents, behind wall panels), if you have peeling lead paint, or if your house was built on or close to a waste deposit
    DIY: which rooms did they frequent most? did they eat fruit from the garden? what else connects them in their habits?

    Call the city health inspector from your city (county health inspector if you don’t live in a city) and they will recommend a reputable contractor who can do this.
    Generally if there is asbestos there it’s best to leave it undisturbed and just paint over it so the microscopic fibers stay encased in the paint barrier. It’s not harmful until it gets into the air–the paint keeps this from happening.
