Pesticide link to Parkinson's disease
Pesticide exposure increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, a study reported in New Scientist magazine has revealed.
The study involved almost 3,000 people in Scotland, Italy, Sweden, Romania and Sweden. It found that high-level pesticide users, such as farmers, were 43% more likely than non-users to develop Parkinson's. Researchers concluded that all pesticide users should wear protective clothing.
