childhood illness?


I was just wondering today about a subject I've never seen
addressed.  From what I've heard, there seems to be an increase
in "young-onset" PD.  (I guess "young" is relative; I'm
considered young for PD, but still too old to play for the
Yankees, even as a replacement player.)  It's unknown why
there's this increase, but the most common theory I've seen is
that it's caused by things environmental.  Has anyone explored
the possibility that there's a connection with some illness we
had as children, similar to the connection between PD and the
flu of 1918?
