Due to the heavy tick and mosquito infestation we dipped our dogs often with a product names “Vet-Kem”. It’s active ingredient is ’permethrin’. As Kennel Master for one of those sites I often prepared and disposed of the dip for other handlers. In addition to this exposure we, on sentry duty, wore thick applications of insecticide on our clothing and exposed skin. We’d wear these uniforms for 24 hrs. of sentry duty. Also, several times a week, during the late night and early morning, an insecticide fogging truck would drive through the site emitting clouds of insecticides which lingered in the air for several hours afterwards. We not only accompanied the driver, for security reasons, but continued walking sentry in the mist for up to four hours. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 43 but developed the associated tremors at 35 years old. I am now 53 years old and have been diagnosed with Tremor Dominant Parkinson’s Disease.

I currently have implanted both bi-lateral and unilateral Deep Brain Stimulators for tremor control

Everyone else doesn’t give them a second thought. Education is so important which is why I love this site. This type of stuff should be on the TV evening news. Gee, wonder why it’s not…..?
