Does anyone else live near a golf course, and are you concerned about it leading to Parkinson's disease? My kids mostly drink filtered water. But I doubt that filters out much other than the taste of chlorine.

Wealthy people tend to live in other end communities, and those are frequently near golf courses.

Wealthy people tend to have better health monitoring and see physicians more often, and that results in Parkinson’s being diagnosed more often compared to lower income people who don’t see health providers as often and/or die of other conditions without a Parkinson’s diagnosis.



Dumb study.

Higher end, not “other end”.

Friggin autocorrect is absurd. WTF is “other end communities”?

OP here. The study says there are negative effects correlated with living within 3 miles of a golf course. If you live in the DC suburbs, many people are within 3 miles of a golf course.

They controlled for income.

And yet people keep spraying their lawns, like it's not going to hurt themselves or anyone else.

It’s bad and an important study. But I don’t know how they could know it’s from pesticides and not herbicides? Or something else?

and I read it as the other end from me, which would be higher end, so it worked in my mind

You also shouldn't put any of this stuff on your lawn.

It's one reason we don't live in a HOA, parkinsons runs in my family.

Also, be careful if you have dogs that walk in lots of laws. Maybe wipe their paws off after walks or something.
