If you develop Parkinson’s disease when you are younger than 50, it might be caused by paraquat
The exact cause of Parkinson’s disease is unknown at the moment. Nevertheless, there are many risk factors for it, including paraquat exposure. If you have regularly used the herbicide or lived for a significant time near crops where it was applied and developed Parkinson’s disease, your diagnosis is most likely the result of paraquat exposure. Another tell-tale sign is the age when the onset of the disorder occurs. If you are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when you are younger than 50, chances are paraquat exposure is the culprit, as the average diagnosis age for the disorder is 60.
A symptom that indicates young-onset Parkinson’s disease is stiffness or cramping in a muscle or limb. It is important to note that younger people experience the disorder and its symptoms differently than the elderly. People with young-onset Parkinson’s disease also tend to exhibit cognitive problems such as dementia and memory issues less frequently. Therefore, perhaps the main clue that the disorder is caused by paraquat exposure is the age at which it occurs.
