Scientists investigated workers working in France's Bordeaux vineyards.

The survey results show that workers who have long-term exposure to pesticides, herbicides, the risk of neurological diseases are four times higher than those with little or no contact.

In addition, the investigation found that although workers have been retired for four years, the risk of neurological disorder symptoms is still twice as high as that of normal people.

According to scientists, symptoms of neurological disorders can make people suffer from Alzheimer's disease.
