Re: means reported from anecdotal evidence. Yes answer's come
from the following sources.

Chemical Sensitivity Connection, January 1998, compiled by Jackie
Burkhead, to include symptoms of Pesticide Poisoning (PP) as noted
from Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS's) and as outlined in the US
EPA Pesticide Poisoning Handbook;
Recognition and Management of Pesticide Poisoning.

6) AIDS Symptoms from former AIDS
Administration worker, a member of AIDS Support & Share Group
The onset of PP, FMS, CFS, GWS, MCS, AIDS, and MS typically
begins with flu-like symptoms, and is therefore commonly
mistaken as the flu.
