Yes, BUT it may help to explain why I have developed Parkinsons symptoms. I was actively involved in research in fish work and was exposed (alot) to rotenone as well as other pesticides for many years. I did not eat the fish, I actively handled the compound and in those days with pretty much a very cavalier attitude - not really thinking about consequences. I think the report of the research has less to do with WHAT the substance is, and more to do with the potential for problems due to exposure.
