C. Smith" (Barbasco) due to the Rotenone. Is there a high insidence of Parkinson's Disease in those areas? One would think that after years of ingestion, there may be. However, perhaps the drying of the fish inactivates the Rotenone (where it degrades naturally within two weeks with exposure to light). Any knowledge to this regard? I'm planning my eco-trip there.
