Description

Dozens of people in New Brunswick have reported mysterious neurological symptoms over the past two years. People as young as 18 are experiencing full-blown dementia. Is there a single cause for these reported illnesses? The government has previously said they believed there was. Now, they have said there is no single cause. This week, we revisit a mystery we originally told you in January 2022. 
Featured in this episode: Leyland Cecco, the Guardian's Canadian correspondent; Stacie Quigley Cormier, step mother of Gabrielle Cormier who began experiencing dementia-type symptoms at the age of 20.
