Gardeners 'more likely to get Parkinson's' - Telegraph

Extract:

"Gardeners may be increasing their risk of developing Parkinson's disease by using pesticides, researchers have warned.

A study has found that the potential damage caused to the brain by pesticides is similar to being knocked unconscious in a boxing ring.

The risk of developing the degenerative condition increases according to the level of exposure to pesticides - as well as the frequency of being struck unconscious, the study showed.

Dr Finlay Dick from the University of Aberdeen, who led the study, said that further research could identify which pesticides were associated with this effect, so that these agents could be substituted."
