I have noticed that there does seem to be an awful lot of nurses, and teachers, that have MS. Tranditionally, these two tend to be 'female' career choices, so that may be the reason alone (largest % of MS'er are female).

A thought that has come to mind is that perhaps these two groups are exposed to more viruses/bacteria then others generally are.

If it were nurses/doctors with an apparent higher incidence, I'd be tempted to consider testing procedures, like radiology (xrays) etc. as a possible trigger.
