Mysterious 'polio-like' illness AFM is likely more widespread than reported, experts say

A “polio-like” condition that has left children in 22 states paralyzed may be more widespread than previously announced due to inadequate testing protocols and voluntary reporting requirements, experts say.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that there have been 62 confirmed cases of Acute Flaccid Myelitis so far this year.

Since the first known outbreak of AFM in 2014, the devastating illness has reemerged with at least 50 confirmed cases between August and October in even-numbered years.

Six cases in Western PA.  And this disease is supposedly rare. 

Just where are these diseases coming from?  So-called "refugees?"
