Don't get any of it on you. There are two working environments where the same chemicals are prevalent and there is a high rate of Parkinson's. Farming where bug and weed killers are used, and Paper mills. The area in your brain that is what Parkinson's effects deteriorates naturally as you age. Exposure to those chemicals also deteriorates it. Enough repeated exposure combined with age and lose enough you get Parkinson's. Most people the natural deterioration isn't enough to be a problem. But if you get exposed to too much of the chemicals or you can get enough when younger the natural deterioration will be enough more to cause problems.

When I found out I started wearing a Tyvek suit and gas mask to fertilize, weed kill the yard or spray our garden and fruit trees for bugs.
My Dad thought I was crazy because had taken care of gardens spraying stuff all his life. The last couple of years he was alive he started getting Parkinson's. He passed when he was 72.
