Default Chemical from Soil Bacteria Shows Potential Neuron Toxicity;
University of Alabama scientists have discovered a chemical produced by common soil bacteria may kill neurons that produce dopamine

October 5, 2009 - Filed under: Research | Tagged: Biology, College of Arts & Sciences, Health, Science
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — A chemical produced by common soil bacteria may kill neurons that produce dopamine, according to an article authored by University of Alabama researchers publishing Oct. 6. Dopamine neuron demise leads to the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, a movement disorder affecting some 1 million Americans.


I used to be a very keen gardener, and tended a plot of nearly one acre for 20 years, frequently getting covered in soil.(I think you call it dirt in the USA). So I wonder how many other PWP's wallowed in soil in the past.

Shocked
That is alarming since a strain of Streptomyces is also found in yogurt!

Default soil is high quality dirt in usa
i was told to let my kids play in the dirt - it builds immunity. apparently immune systems are losing.
