I've often wondered this, I grew up on a farm, and was exposed to many different chemicals, although I wouln't say I activly used them. For the two years before I was diagnosed I worked in a vinyard/orchard and used chemicals but used all the safety protection I could.
Dad was in Korea during the war and was exposed to chemicals and I wonder if even this may have been a pre cursor.........but of course this is all just theorising and may have nothing what so ever to do with my mg.

Hi
I was exposed to organo phosphates as a child. My maternal grandfather worked for dept of agriculture. When I was little he used to take me out with him when he was spraying crops. We wore no protective clothing as you didn't have to in those days the chemicals were considered safe. I know friends of the earth have a lot of info on the damage that these chemicals can do to the human body. I did mention it to my neuro, who gave me a look like Ive descended from another planet!
