Birthplace?

[Don2480]

With all the thought that how far away from the equator you where during pregnancy and birth I am just curious. Where were you born?

Mid right Wisconsin here.

In a little old country farmhouse in Old Shawneetowm
Illinois which is the oldest town Illlinois and is on the bank of the Ohio river.

Bakersfield, California in the hot, dry summer

Central Wisconsin, but moved to Florida when I was 5. I'm skeptical about the prevalence of MS and living north of the equator. I know people who have lived in Florida their entire lives, born and raised, and have MS.

Most of those who responded are in high risk area...then a few Californians.

Raleigh, North Carolina. It is hotter than forty HE double hockey sticks down here in the summer, and mild in the winters.

I grew up close to the equator in Asia. However I spent high school and beyond in the Mid-Atlantic corridor.

After a childhood of blistering sunburns and a ridiculous amount of sun exposure, in deference to my skin cancer risk, I spent the first 20 years of my adulthood slathering on sunscreen daily and wearing hats and long-sleeves.

Not sure where I fall, but some say if you move out of a high-sun region while still a teenager, you reverse the protection.

About 20 miles west of Philadelphia, PA.

Born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida!

Grew up outside or at the beach and during our "winters" I was in a tanning booth

What are the high risk areas?

I was born and raised in northern KY right on the Ohio River but have lived in the southwest desert since the age of 18.
