The family couldn’t afford to pay for a hotel or another place to stay. But as the flood soaked the fields where Garcia’s mother picks strawberries, Garcia, 18, knew he had to leave his family and return to school and work in Watsonville.

They recently published a series of seven cases in the Journal of Parkinson’s disease that illustrate TCE’s harmful health effects and the potential PD association.

Half of commuters (51%) will pay more to travel to work, and 46% will choose a longer route – over concerns about hygiene and cleanliness, a study has found. More than three-quarters (79%) of adults who use public transport to get to work will avoid holding the handrails on a train, tube, or bus, to reduce their risk of picking up germs, while 55% said the same of escalator handrails. And the poll of 1,110 commuters found 14% even go as far as to wear disposable gloves on their journeys to or from work. However, more than a fifth (22%) say they would still take public transport during peak times even if they had a cough or a cold – and 21% of these would hold the handrails. Nearly half would take a longer route to work if it meant avoiding germs and bacteria ( Image: Peter Cade/Getty Images) The survey was commissioned by Puressentiel, whose spokesman said: “Whilst many of us have adapted and improved our commuting hygiene practices since the pandemic, from our … [Read more...] about Half of commuters avoid public transport to get to work – due to hygiene concerns
