April Anderson+FollowParkinson’s Could Be Detected by a Skin Swab?!Wild science alert: Researchers found that a simple skin swab could spot Parkinson’s years before symptoms show up. They’re looking at sebum (that oily stuff on your skin) and its unique smell—turns out, people with Parkinson’s have different compounds in their sebum. This could mean a totally noninvasive way to catch the disease super early, even before movement or speech issues start. Imagine just a quick swab instead of waiting for symptoms! #Health #BodyHealth #ParkinsonsAwareness10Share

They trained an AI to sniff out certain chemicals in earwax, and it was 94% accurate at telling who had Parkinson’s! It’s still early days, but this could mean a super simple, non-invasive test for early detection. Wild, right? #ParkinsonsAwareness #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #Health #BodyHealth70Share

Kevin Rodriguez+FollowLiving Near Golf Courses = Higher Parkinson’s Risk?Did you know living close to a golf course could seriously up your risk for Parkinson’s?

It’s not just the air—tap water near courses can be risky too. Experts say it’s time to rethink how we use chemicals in our neighborhoods. Would you ever move because of this? #ParkinsonsAwareness #Pesticides #HealthNews #GolfCourseRisks #EnvironmentalHealth #Health00Share
