Exposure to paint, varnish, other solvents linked to increased risk of MS -- ScienceDaily

People who have been exposed to paint, varnish and other solvents and
who also carry genes that make them more susceptible to developing
multiple sclerosis (MS) may be at much greater risk of developing the
disease than people who have only the exposure to solvents or the MS
genes, according to a study published in the July 3, 2018, online issue
of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
