Canadian government urged to test sick patients for herbicide

Patients in New Brunswick with array of symptoms show signs of exposure to glyphosate', says neurologist

A neurologist who believes his patients are suffering from a suspicious illness has pleaded with the Canadian government to carry out environmental testing he thinks will show the involvement of the herbicide glyphosate.

For more than two years, dozens of people in the Canadian province of New Brunswick have experienced a distressing array of neurological symptoms, initially prompting speculation that they had developed an unknown degenerative illness - and that figure is believed to be far higher than official reports.
