Since I haven’t moved to The Villages yet but would like to, what are others saying or doing about this to avoid exposure to dangerous chemicals that is causing this? (If you haven’t heard this yet, it’s simple to google it and find the info). I’m truly afraid but want to find an answers and solutions to ease my worries. Thank you
I would think if you research any 55 and older area you will find more Parkinson’s disease than if you research an area like Middleton with a younger population. Same way with many diseases that become more prevalent as we age. Just my opinion.
