Pesticides Found to Cause Parkinson’s

**New research has found that pesticides may be a direct cause of
Parkinson's disease. The research looked at 319 cases of Parkinson's
disease and found that herbicides and insecticides 'significantly'
increased the risk of Parkinson's disease.

The herbicides and insecticides found to be the worst are those that
contain organochlorine and organophosphorous compounds.

The study concluded that as a result, farmers and people living on farms
who are regularly exposed to the chemicals may be at greater risk of
developing Parkinson's disease than the general population.

It has often been suspected that well water may be a cause of
Parkinson's, but this study did not find a correlation.
