Mystery brain disorder baffles Canadian doctors
- damau 6y agoI dislike these types of articles. They are apathy generators. I wish they could at least add a link to a donation page, or a way to offer help or waited for something more conclusive. The other issue is that adding noise at this point often has the reverse snowball effect. If it came out this was due to something class actionable the noise of it dies down before the shouting needs to start. Then we get a ten part docudrama ten years later. That’s not to diminish the suffering these people are going through. Though if I can’t help in some small way or there hasn’t been some sort of outcome or it’s about to become a pandemic it just generates apathy among the masses.

Prion disease has been rampaging deer, elk, and moose stocks for a few years now: https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2019/02/fatal-brain-disease-in-deer-elk-moose-spreading-danger-for-humans/ https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2019/02/fatal-brain-disease-i...
- perl4ever 6y agoI increasingly am completely at a loss for understanding how people compartmentalize "mental illness" vs. "neurological disorder". I read that article and I'm wondering what the criteria is that makes it "neurological disease" when they don't know what the cause is.
