A mysterious neurological condition characterized by a wide range of symptoms, including hallucinations, muscle wasting, vision problems, memory loss, and abnormal movements, is on the rise.
The number of cases for this syndrome has grown to 48, according to public health officials, while some believe the true number of people affected could exceed 200. What is particularly concerning is the prevalence of young people being affected by the condition, which is not typically associated with dementia-like symptoms or other neurological issues.

Neurologist Dr. Alier Marrero expressed his worry about the rise in cases of early-onset and young-onset neurological syndrome, as was recently reported by the New York Post.
In a letter dated January 30, 2023, Marrero reported monitoring 147 cases, with 57 classified as early-onset and 41 as young-onset, according to the Toronto Star. As of 2021, there have been nine reported deaths linked to the mysterious illness.
Dr. Marrero, a Canadian physician, told The Daily Mail that he was unable to identity the underlying cause of the unclassified neurological condition or an identifiable cluster of symptoms that could lead to ready diagnosis and a course of treatment.
“He informed government officials in 2021 that he had just referred two new patients – one in their 30s, another in their 50s – who were experiencing progressive Alzheimer’s Disease,” the Mail reported. “A barrage of blood tests, spinal taps, and brain scans performed on the patients revealed brain atrophy and neurological dysfunction, but not in such a uniform way across patients that Dr Marrero could find a clear diagnosis.”
“Most patients were experiencing dementia-like symptoms. Some suddenly were unable to form words and had uncontrollable muscle spasms, difficulty moving, and fatigue,” the report added.
A government investigation, exploring potential environmental toxins as the cause, was abruptly halted in 2021. Public Health New Brunswick, the government agency responsible, concluded in its final report released in February 2022 that there was no evidence of an unknown neurological syndrome cluster.
However, Dr. Marrero and patient advocates refuse to give up on the investigation, with many suspecting a possible connection between the disorder and pesticide use in the predominantly rural province.
Glyphosate, an herbicide commonly employed in agriculture, the forestry industry, and household weedkillers, has come under particular scrutiny. Laboratory tests conducted on patients revealed indications of exposure to glyphosate and other herbicide-related compounds, as noted by Marrero. The presence of glyphosate has also been linked to the occurrence of blue-green algae blooms in water bodies. Glyphosate contains phosphorous, which can contribute to the growth of blue-green algae—a type of cyanobacteria capable of causing illness in humans and fatalities in animals.
