'Mystery Illness' Striking Kids Across the Country

While most folks have had their eyes diverted by the Ebola scare, another illness is hitting hundreds of kids especially hard this year. Some have become paralyzed by the illness, and others have died.

Calling it the "mystery illness," doctors say it is a strain of viruses called Enterovirus 68, and it has hit kids from California to the East Coast. First diagnosed in the U.S. in 1962, the virus has been rare here. But this year it has exploded for unknown reasons.

As Breitbart News reported, since mid-September, more and more cases of this mysterious respiratory illness have broken out, but as one expert has noted, government officials have been "real tight-lipped" about the outbreaks.

Dr. Jane Orient, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, recently said that we might want to look to the recent influx of tens of thousands of illegal immigrants for a root cause.

On September 17, Dr. Orient said:

We don't know where it's coming from. ...Are there immigrants from Central America, where this disease has allegedly been prevalent before? Should we be [looking at] the virus to see whether it's like what's been found in some of these countries that are just sending waves of children across our border and they haven't been quarantined long enough to make sure they're not sick?

Whatever the cause, in the last weeks, cases of the illness have mounted, as more than 40 states have reported hundreds of cases, usually in children between 10 and 15 years of age.

Several children in Colorado have suffered paralysis due to the viral infection, with as many as nine struck with polio-like symptoms in Aurora, Colorado.

"But this year it has exploded for unknown reasons."

We all know the reason: the thousands of children from Central American that have been intentionally seeded across the country.

No mystery.

Them kids is weak.

It’s no mystery — it is the Honduran flu.

[Organic Panic]

Completely unknown! It's a total mystery!

“government officials have been “real tight-lipped” about the outbreaks.”

Because they don’t want you to know that they allowed in tens of thousands of illegal aliens with little or no health screening.

This is exactly what President Obola wanted for our country.

My sister in law and half her family got it including the 4 year old grandkid. My SIL is just now recovering from pneumonia which developed from the virus. This stuff is terrible.

But this year it has exploded for unknown reasons.

Tens of thousands of illegal children coming in just since the beginning of the year could offer a clue -- especially since the condition is apparently known in certain Central and South American areas.

But, hey, we don't want to connect the dots -- because we might not like the picture that reveals.

More dead voters ?

No kidding?

That’s terrible.

I hope your SIL recovers well and soon.

No, Einstein.

Martial law.

Thanks. She is much better now that she got 6 prescriptions. I am fairly sure the Dr. probably would have hospitalized her except she had to drop her insurance when the premium doubled in Jan. Thanks to Obamacare.
