A pesticide beloved of organic gardeners may cause Parkinson's Disease, says Professor Tim Greenamyre of Emory University, Atlanta. Pesticides made with rotenone, which is extracted from the derris plant, are commonly marketed as a safer alternative to man-made chemicals. But Greenamyre's findings show that when rats are repeatedly exposed to rotenone they not only develop the symptoms of Parkinson's - trembling and loss of muscle control - but acquire tiny lumps in the brain, known as Lewy bodies, that are a sure sign of the disease. "These results," says Greenamyre in the journal Nature Neuroscience, "indicate that chronic exposure to a common pesticide can reproduce the anatomical, neurochemical, behavioural and neuropathological features of Parkinson's."
