My grandfather had early onset. His sister developed it in her 50s and now my brother has been diagnosed at 61.
I have heard a few people say online before that if you are getting PD in your 20’s, 30’s or below, you’re at the highest risk for family/ hereditary Parkinson’s.. my grandmother had PD in her 20’s and I have started showing PD symptoms this year, I am 22. I also have diagnosed ET.
2 males on my father's side have passed from Parkinson's. Both worked with chemicals in their jobs.
You wouldn't happen to know what those chemicals are would you ?

I don't.
My cousin was a Chemical Engineer working on jet fuels for the government.
My grandfather was a metallurgist working in the production of automobile chain.
Maybe people are living longer now because of better care, like regular feeding, and side affects being treated etc, rather than the drugs. Maybe long ago people were left to die because people didn't know what to do or life was tougher in general. I hate this casual statement that drugs are the only reason people are living longer. But other than that not criticising the video.
