I highly doubt it. As explained, benzene is a very minor part of gasoline and unless she also washed her hands in it for extended period of time like her husband, I don't think that could be the cause. Handling parts of a truck, car or RV that had dried gasoline on it would not cause MDS.

For me, as explained earlier, besides practically living in a car or truck for years of work later on, before that I was exposed to trichlorethylene and perchlorethylene used in degreasers of electronic circuit boards for several years. I'm fairly certain that is how I may have gotten MDS.
