70% Informative
New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt wants federal scientists to investigate mysterious brain illness.
Hundreds of people in New Brunswick have reported similar symptoms of neurological decline.
New Brunswick neurologist Dr. Alier Marrero has seen hundreds of patients in recent years .
Marrero is finding high levels of pesticides in the blood of his patients, leading him to suspect their illness is being caused by the environment.
Neurologist says he has 467 patients with undiagnosable illness in New Brunswick .
One theory is that glyphosate, a widely used broad-spectrum herbicide applied to kill weeds, is causing the problem.
Blue-green algae and other environmental toxins have also been suggested as the cause.
Some with the illness are keen to hear federal help is on the way.
“My left side is weaker than my right side and I have reduced feeling — it’s creeping up almost to my shins now,” Hardy said.
“I’ll see things out of the corner of my eye — a lot of us see cats,’ she said.
