This is interesting--quote:

"Rotenone is an organic product made from extracts of tropical plants. It is
widely used as an agricultural pesticide and to kill unwanted fish in
reservoirs."

It's not an artificial compound.  Purely organic:

ro·te·none (r?t'n-?n')
n.
A white crystalline compound, C23H22O6, extracted from the roots of derris
and cubé and used as an insecticide.

The article states that rats which had rotenone pumped (24 hrs/day) into
them for up to 5 weeks got Parkinson's disease--"In the experiment conducted
at Emory University in Atlanta, neurologists implanted tiny pumps in the
rats to continuously administer low doses of rotenone through the jugular
vein for as long as five weeks."

Does rotenone have any heat to it?
