Newest Illness Linked To 9/11

[x635 4,066]

I just saw on the WNBC 4 News a story about the newest illness linked to 9/11.

Neuropathy, and it's not covered by the Zadroga Act. A large group of 9/11 responders, many middle aged males, are getting weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage, all symptoms of neuropathy. A study by Winthrop Medical Center shows that 9/11 responders are at a 15x higher risk of severe neuropathy then the general population. It's tied to some of the toxins in the air at Ground Zero.

A CDC Spokesperson is saying that the illness is now being considered for inclusion in the Zadroga Act, but it's far from a given.

I can't find the link to anything online just yet to link to a Channel 4, some things in the past couple years about the beginning of the study but not much more.
