Its amazing he is functional at all. It apparently doesn't take much error in the bath tub manufacturing process to get a byproduct that causes Parkinson disease like symptoms.

Given the high level of in take the odds of avoiding a bad batch are almost negligible.

Sorry, wrong drug. Parkinson's symptoms are caused by MPTP, produced by mistakes in synthesizing MPPP which is a meperidine (an opioid analgesic) analogue. No relation to MDMA whatsoever.

That said, this will be an interesting case from medical standpoint. However, consider this: Someone abusing ethanol on this scale would probably have died long time ago...
