Hand Tremors

I was at a family gathering recently and noticed my Aunt and Uncle (i.e. husband and Wife) both have pretty bad hand tremors. Both are in their 70's but no other family members have hand tremors. Nor do their two kids or grand children. I don't think they've been diagnosed with anything in particular but was wondering what the chances were it was caused by something in their environment? They've lived in the same house for 40+ years, I was wondering if it's perhaps something in their water supply such as lead pipes, etc that might be causing the problems.

Did they use Roundup on their driveway weeds? Roundup is a neurotoxin. A lot of older people now have tremors because they used Roundup religiously.

Interesting that you mentioned elderly people and tremors. We have noticed a huge amount of elderly and late mid people with tremors in our area. Pesticide exposure could well be a common denominator.

No idea, but my uncle was always well known for having the most amazing looking lawn, he even used to mow the lawn so it had stripes.

Would not surprise me to find it was roundup caused, Archer.
