I just read that in more than one occupational study, teachers and healthcare workers showed a higher incidence of PD. As much as 2 to 3 times higher than other professions. I wanted to test that theory for anyone here who is willing. Thanks for voting

Also, any idea why this may be? I was theorizing that perhaps teachers and healthcare workers are more likely to get flu shots and perhaps repetitive exposure to the flu damages the substantia nigra for some people? Remember those patients documented in the movie Awakenings that suddenly had advanced Parkinsonian symptoms after suffering with encephilitis as a result of the flu pandemic.
