Exposure to Pesticide and Head Injury Resulting To Loss of Consciousness Increases Risk of Parkinson's Disease

A new study on Parkinson's Disease suggest that people who have experience a head injury and exposure to pesticide increases the likelihood of developing Parkinson's Disease by a factor of three.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a motor system disorder. This results in the affected person to experience tremors (uncontrollable shaking), muscle stiffness, balance and coordination problems, slowness of movement and a change in walking and posture. Although tremors are often associated with Parkinson's, some people do not experience this problem.
