An investigation into a mysterious neurological illness affecting hundreds in New Brunswick found no evidence that environmental substances like herbicides or heavy metals are the cause. Dr. Yves Léger, the chief medical officer of health, stated that the findings do not indicate widespread exposure contributing to the patients’ symptoms, which include muscle spasms and memory loss. The report suggests the need for independent assessments and a formal review process for undiagnosed illnesses. The provincial government has also requested a review of patient data by the Public Health Agency of Canada for further insights.
