Canadian Brain Disease

This is an odd one. Not letting the public know the location and apparently no clue yet as to the cause. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/canada-brain-disease-new-brunswick-b1825751.html

A mysterious brain disease has sickened dozens of people in New Brunswick, Canada, and doctors aren’t sure why. Since 2015, at least 43 people have developed the illness, and five have died, according to Canadian public health officials. The symptoms include hallucinations, muscle atrophy, spasms, and teeth chattering. “We don’t know what is causing it,” Dr Alier Marrero, a neurologist leading a study of the disorder, told The Guardian. “At this time we only have more patients appearing to have this syndrome.”

Only Known in New Bruinswick Canada currently. Forty cases in total so far. Spotted an article about it a few days ago. As we live not that far away. Possibly a virus? Certainly some external causation. Sounded pretty serious.

Symptoms sound like mad cow disease spread to humans.Crossover diseases are becoming more common.

Yes, that is what I thought of instantly. And any animals in that family can get it I believe....and perhaps humans too.

Some regional update news as we live not far away. Does not seem to be increasing in case numbers.

Just a few suspicions. Seems to be male only from families talking about the cases. Could be very wrong. Still being fairly quiet about it. Other than they still do not know what it is.
