This part of your home is putting you at risk for developing ALS

MDLinxAaron Burberry, assistant professor at the School of Medicine, commented on a study that examined the connection between household toxins and the development of ALS, noting studies like this that focus specifically on ALS may someday aid physicians in providing patients with better care. “Beyond avoiding compounds that are generally bad for our brains…clinicians may ultimately suggest specific lifestyle changes for people with a familial history of ALS,” he said.
