Please forgive this late response to your post (I finally have a chance to
read all of my mail), but I was a bit shocked when I read it.  You would
take a taste of the chemicals you synthesized??  Do you think that action
might have contributed to your PD? I should explain that my husband is a
physical chemist who is convinced that his PD probably resulted from the
chemical experiments he did as a post-doc.
