10794391 Lockridge O, Masson P: Pesticides and susceptible populations: people with butyrylcholinesterase genetic variants may be at risk. Neurotoxicology. 2000 Feb-Apr;21(1-2):113-26.

Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) scavenges low doses of organophosphorus (for example, paraoxon) and carbamate pesticides (for example, carbaryl) and in this way protects people from the toxic effects of these poisons.
This leaves more toxin available for reaction with acetylcholinesterase in nerve synapses and predicts that people with atypical BChE will be less protected.
