Describe the symptoms the family had and how the mother narrowed the possible exposures down
The Jorgensen family had various symptoms that included: cold lower body, tingling of the limbs, and muscle spasms followed by intense burning sensations. At times, they would function normally and the next the symptoms would reappear. Usually, it would get worse every time until the pain started to die down. The mother, at first, didn't bother to look into the disease until she found out that her kids had the symptoms as well. She searched for answers through physicians, internists, and neurologist, all of them equally confused with what she and her kids had. Eventually, she went to other doctors and they claimed that it was due to the bad environment. She had invested hundreds of dollars but nothing came out of it. The doctors then recommended her to go seek a neurologist at John Hopkins. He then told her to go find a psychotherapist for he thought that they were mental. However, she knew they weren't mental so they retraced their steps. This was when she had discovered that there might have have been connection with the dead fish at the river.
