This is interesting.  My wife’s grandfather has a very advanced case of Parkinson’s disease. I will have to ask her about his pesticide use.  He and his wife lived out in the woods in West Virginia, but I am not sure about the use of chemicals. I know they lived next to a HUGE apple orchard.

Evidence that pesticides can cause Parkinson’s disease is stronger than it has ever been after a meeting of experts who have put together links in animals and people, scientists say.

Here is more on the chemical Paraquat.

According to the Center for Disease Control, ingesting paraquat causes symptoms such as liver, lung, heart, and kidney failure within several days to several weeks. Those who suffer large exposures are unlikely to survive. Chronic exposure can lead to lung damage, kidney failure, heart failure, and oesophageal strictures
