Abstract
Results are consistent with low-dose exposure to pesticides being associated with screen-positive neuropathy and Parkinsonism but the stronger associations between seeking advice for pesticide poisoning and screen-positive ill-health suggest that acute pesticide exposure remains an important determinant of ill-health. Further work is required to better delineate to what extent low dose exposures may contribute to ill-health in populations without acute exposures. Somatising tendency does not appear to play an important role in this population.
