Do you know was there follow-up studies tracking commonly used chemicals in the highest risk occupations. I once read a newsletter that said one statistical link was rural living/well water drinking people were more likely to get PD! Feels contrary to ourd fear of industrial chemical pollution, smog, etc. I personally fit in with that pattern as I was raised on a farm and drank well water most of my life. If we all try to look objectively at our past maybe we will get lucky! Doing anything feels better than doing nothing and I'm sure that luck usually follows effort! mike
