My name is Michael. I distinctly remember being over-exposed to chlorine
while cleaning my shower several years ago. My eyes began to water. My nose
began to run. My lungs burned and breathing was difficult. I lost all sense
of smell, and for the next 2 years I had bronchitis symptoms at least once
each month. My health continued to deteriorate(until that time I was seldom
ill in any way). In nov. of 1993 I developed a type of limp or drag in my
left leg. In Jan. of 94 my large left toe developed a tremor. By April of
94 the tremor had moved into my left leg. By Nov. of '95 I was barely
functioning. I went to a neurologist and received the diagnosis of
Parkinson's disease. Medications are helping, but that liquid chlorine, I do
believe, was the culprit.
