New Brunswick report finds no environmental links to unknown neurological illness in patients

A New Brunswick investigation found no environmental link to neurological symptoms reported by hundreds of patients of a single neurologist in the province, says a report released Friday by the province’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Yves Léger.

Dr. Yves Léger said the findings do not suggest that either herbicides or metals were present at levels that could have contributed to illness experienced by most patients. Earlier investigations found no evidence of a shared common illness.
