A mysterious brain disease appears to be affecting a growing number of young people, according to a whistleblower in the Canadian province of New Brunswick.
The disease does not have an official name, but researchers call it neurological syndrome of unknown etiology (NSUE).
Details of the disturbing cluster of bizarre cases first emerged in April 2021 after a note sent to Canadian healthcare practitioners leaked.
Symptoms of the apparently new disease begin with unexplained pain, which worsens into spasms, contractions, and changes in behavior.
According to official figures, the number of victims still stands at 48, but some experts fear that the number of those affected has reached 150, many of them remaining undiagnosed.
A report compiled in October 2021 found that there was no evidence of known food contamination or environmental conditions that could explain the disease.
In one of the Canadian cases, a man who had developed unexplained dementia issues and problems with movement and coordination appeared to pass the disease on to his wife.
Another case, a woman in her 30s, is in a near vegetative state and her caregiver – a nursing student in her 20s – has also started showing symptoms of the mysterious illness.
