Asbestos glue under my wallpaper?

Hey there, new to the forum and homeownership. Ive been remodeling the house I just bought that was built in the 1930s. I am scraping off all of the layers of wall paper in the bathroom and started scraping off this red chalky glue. I didn't think anything of it & then it dawned on me that this may be asbestos glue. I know that old asbestos glue can sometimes be red.
Has anyone heard of this? Did they use to use asbestos glue for wallpaper? Should I seal off my bathroom and get an inspector in here? haha thanks for the advise!
