I just got a shock last week. A
stranger who knew who I was asked if I remembered her husband, who'd had
Parkinson's. She said that after he died, she read that Rotenone use was
associated with Parkinson's. He was in fisheries biology, and they called
him "The Rotenone King" because he used so much of the stuff in killing out
undesirable species. His sister and brother also have Parkinsons, so there
is obviously more to it than that, but he died younger. I had a
grandmother and an aunt with it, so I'm very glad now that I never used the
stuff. I have a small bag of it around somewhere, but have never actually
used it. I don't know why, it just seems like I am so used to dealing with
things other ways, it's rather foreign to think of getting out a sprayer.
(Which I did last week, and sprayed the plums and peaches with Surround and
Neem.) I complain a lot about the bug of the hour, but mostly we have
plenty to eat. Lately it was slugs and grubs.
