When nine children in one hospital in Colorado come down with a mysterious form of paralysis in less than two months, it’s hard not to worry.

Colorado has been hit hard by enterovirus D68, a virus that has caused severe respiratory illnesses in children around the country over the past few months.

Since then, 23 other cases of “acute flaccid paralysis” of unknown origin have been reported in California, almost all of them in children.
