My Mom

My mom was a RN worked with lots of Parkinson's patients. Is it possible she contracted it as she was very involved and dedicated with Parkinson's patients?

  1. Hi thank you for reaching out. While the exact cause of Parkinson's is unknown, it is not something that is contagious. It is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. I am attaching this article in hopes that it can give you some valuable information: https://parkinsonsdisease.net/research. Jill (Team Member)
