I have read the various postings re PD and occupation with much
interest. In my wife's case, we have no particular culprit we suspect. She
was wife, mother, and nursing home chaplain, none of which exposed her to
anything other than what all of us encounter in modern living.
One of the members of our support group, however, raises an
interesting question. He is a relatively young-onset Parkie, early 50's,
and was a fireman. He says, without citing figures, that PD is common in
firemen,supposedly owing to their high exposure to carbon monoxide. Does
anyone have any information re this?
