ROCHESTER, Minn., June 15 — Men exposed to pesticides are more than twice as likely to develop Parkinson's disease as are men who have managed to avoid contact with the toxic chemicals, according to Mayo Clinic researchers.

The risk for Parkinson's from pesticide exposure was equally high among farmers and non-farmers reported Walter A. Rocca, M.D., M.P.H., and Mayo Clinc colleagues in early online version of Movement Disorders. There was no elevated risk associated with exposure to any of six other categories of household or industrial chemicals.
