Hundreds of people in Canada have been affected by a “mysterious and fatal brain disease,” while the number of infected people continues to rise, according to the American New York Post.
The source said that health experts in the Canadian province of New Brunswick have documented the injury of hundreds of people with a mysterious disease, whose symptoms range from hallucinations, muscle atrophy, vision problems and memory loss.
These symptoms began to appear for the first time in 2015 in a small group of patients, before spreading to more than 200 people.
“In addition, an unusual number of these cases affect young people who do not show symptoms of dementia or signs of other neurological problems,” the New York Post said.
“I am particularly concerned about the increase in the number of people with the neurological syndrome that appears at an early age,” neurologist Dr. Allir Marrero wrote in a letter dated January 30, 2023, to New Brunswick’s chief medical officer and federal director of public health.
He added, “Over the past year, I followed 147 people with this disease, between the ages of 17 and 80.”
For its part, the British newspaper “Daily Mail” revealed that since 2021, nine deaths attributed to the mysterious disease have been recorded.
A previous government investigation concluded that “environmental toxins may be behind this disease.” The investigation closed abruptly in 2021.
In its February 2022 final report, the New Brunswick Public Health Agency declared that there was, in fact, “no evidence of an idiopathic neurological syndrome”.
Activists say the disturbance may be linked to the use of pesticides in the rural county.
This is related to “glyphosate”, which is a widely used weed killer, especially for broad-leaved weeds that compete with agricultural crops.
