Let me take your mind off off Covid-19 for a minute.

Dutch Neurologist Warns of ‘Parkinson’s Pandemic’ Linked to Toxic Chemicals

That's the headline from this ARTICLE. My wife Claudia has Parkinson's.

From the article... “Parkinson’s is now the fastest-growing neurological condition on the planet.”
"Bloem, 53, points to the tight link between exposure to herbicides such as paraquat — a weed killer — and the risk of developing Parkinson’s."

The link to paraquat is a CDC link and has lots of info.

Also from the article... "Paraquat isn’t the only such chemical posing this risk. Trichloroethylene, a solvent used to clean metals and remove stains, has exactly the same effect on human brains."

Well, that not nice. As a telephone man, I used triclor all the time to clean equipment. No protective equipment for us! We were real men!

So get ready for the next pandemic. A man-made one.
