Flightline F105's. I have a rare form of Parkinsons, the people at the Mayo Clinic think it may be herbicide related The Flightline was defoliated and we ate the local fruit. My children both had birth defects. No history of Parkinsons or birth defects in our family history. Bob [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
