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.

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?

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.


They controlled for income.

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.

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.
