I was exposed to trichlorethylene in a technical field position I had 30 years ago. Used for cleaning machine parts for many years. Recently diagnosed with PD, but have had tremors and balance issues for the last 12 years at least. I always thought is was a dangerous chemical to use. Used it without gloves (was never recommender) and it really dried up my fingers. Perhaps it was absorbed into the skin.

Hi, I live in Sweden, in September last year I did a special examination, they told me that I had both inhaled Tri and absorbed into the skin. They told me that the inhalation was the large exposure and via skin the small exposure. But over time the small exposure is enough to be sick. I have had non-motor symptoms 20 years... thank you for answering me🥰
