An unidentified polio-like disease has been affecting children in recent weeks, reported CBC news on Oct. 22. The condition has so far been registered in over 60 cases in the U.S. and Toronto doctors have confirmed its presence in Canada.
The disease causes accute muscle weakness – to the point of inhibiting the sufferer’s ability to breathe in some cases – and while it has been diagnosed in a few adults, it targets children primarily. Doctors are not certain of the exact nature of the viral outbreak and cannot pinpoint a specific cause or origin point for it.
