Selective nigral degeneration with inclusion formation provoked by systemic administration of the herbicide rotenone, through inhibition of complex I, raises the question of pesticide exposure and environmental factors in general, as a cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). Toxin-induced complex I inhibition probably represents one of many potential causes of PD, but it alerts us to the dangers of such substances in the environment and the need to identify genetically susceptible populations. When vulnerable individuals become known, perhaps they should stay out of the garden.
