FREDERICTON—Families who fear their loved ones are afflicted with a mysterious neurological syndrome in New Brunswick say they’re losing patience waiting for information from the health officials who are investigating.

“I can appreciate that maybe the government is afraid to give too much information and scare people, but at the same time, not giving information is also scaring people,” said Steve Ellis, whose father has all the symptoms of the mystery illness.
