Every camping vacation trip while growing up, I was a real drag because I was always sick after spraying insectiside all over myself. I found out what was wrong through my cousins in Canada when they had surgery and couldn't breathe after. Unfortunately for me, my husband & I lived in the SanJuaquin Valley in California for 2 years-1998-2000. That is where they grow most of our food and seem to enjoy spraying pesticides from the air. I really feel that is one of the factors in my having PD. I enjoy all of the conversations going on. I met many of you at the CRLI in October. I wish we all lived closer and could spend time together. I forgot to mention that my deficiency was confirmed by 23&me. Cheers! Franny
