Toxic solvent once used in dry cleaning could trigger Parkinson's 'timebomb'

'Millions worldwide have been and continue to be exposed'

mmmm...first paragraph...."may trigger the disease".......

I'm guessing they don't really know but sounds good for another "sue the beggers" and get some free money.

I imagine after a few million in court costs, they'll find out one way or the other.

Just makes one wonder why they don't bear this themselves "before" sticking it to the "old days".

Well, maybe....soon or late...I'm now 76 years and about between '65 and the seventies, I've used a lot of TCE, but I'm still not shaking.

Yes okay, a bit when I drink to much, but we will see, after 20 years perhaps?

And then? There is micro plastic in many cosmetic products, to make all shine, then in water, so later you have plastic in your veins.

And it stays there, will eventually form a clog? Where, of course first in the tiny little veins, including your brain.

Thailand still uses pesticides, which western countries already forbid, but not in Thailand. Years ago red the story Thailand wanted to forbid as wel, but never heard since then, they did.

please note that mass media is nto a very good source of health information -- they tend to oversimplify and also exaggerate.

 

Also please note  the term "could". There is no indication to date that this is happening (over course, aging populations will have more Parkinsons).

 

The research referred to was based on an army camp which had extreme levels of exposure.
