"Could this presenting syndrome be caused by a neurotoxin?"

Oftentimes neurologists will pass over toxins when diagnosing. Yet disease caused by neurotoxins is widespread, with many having quite typical syndromes. In the studio to discuss this is the first author of the October 2024 Editors' Choice paper, Dr. Frederick Vonberg¹. He draws attention to some hobbies and occupations to watch out for, the global prevalence of lead poisoning, presentations of botulism, and the origin of the infamous Mad Hatter syndrome.
