Researchers believe five people have died from this disease.

A leaked memo from health officials asked doctors to keep an eye out for brain disease symptoms.

This unknown brain disease causes hallucinations, memory loss, spasms, muscle wasting, and tooth shattering.
At least 43 people in Canada's New Brunswick province have fallen ill to an unknown brain disease that causes spasms, memory loss, and hallucinations, and doctors are stumped.

Public health officials believe five people in the so-called "cluster" have died from this disease since the first case was spotted in 2015.

"We have not seen over the last 20-plus years a cluster of diagnosis-resistant neurological disease like this one," Michael Coulthart, head of Canada's CJD surveillance network, told the Guardian.

The disease came to light this month, when Radio-Canada and CBC got hold of a leaked memo, sent from the province's public health agency to local physicians.

The memo told doctors to keep an eye out for patients that have symptoms of the rare brain disorder Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease - blurred vision, hallucinations, or disorientation - but tests rule out CJD.

Time to build a wall up north and keep that shite out of here.

Aka "Lincoln it"

Probably from Trudeau's recent taxe introductions and increases - carbon, income, retail, gasoline, etc.

"Diagnosis resistant"? Is that doctor speak for, "We have no idea what the hell this is"?
