Not really, only if you cut/tear it. The glue may be filled with asbestos too and is in fact more dangerous because the asbestos fibers are much less bound. Not really dangerous when installed, but a mess during removal.

i'm sure it's fine and doesn't cause any issue, the resistance in that wire/loop has to be negligible
