[log in to unmask] Re: Pesticides/Early onset Parkinson's Dear Sharon Hall and Mary Neuman, I too have wondered about the correlation of pesticides and Parkinson's. My husband was also employed with the railroad for 21 years. He was also exposed to the pesticides and defoliants and was diagosed two years ago at age 41. We have been told that my husband's grandfather had Parkinson's but his grandfather died before he was born. I would be interested to hear of others who were exposed to pesticides or chemicals and went on to develop Parkinson's. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Jackie Gilman ([log in to unmask])
