Diagnosed with pls in 2012. i have been exposed to pesticides and herbicides pretty much my whole life. possible cause?

PLS? Elaborate...: PLS is a non-specific acronym that may stand for Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome, Primary Lateral Sclerosis or Protocki-Lupski syndrome so I don't know which you have. But pesticides and herbicides can have significant effects on our nervous system and immune system and trigger autoimmune disease. Avoidance of further exposures and detoxification can only help.
