Talk about jumping to conclusions.
As a biochemist (no conflict of interest), I honestly don't think there's any reason to think this has anything to do with glyphosate or herbicides.
Environmental exposure in general is unlikely to have a subacute presentation such as in CJD, so that probably rules out exposure to reasonable levels of any herbicide.

Thank you for your expert input. I agree - this is just uninformed speculation on my part. I thought I should point out the unusual circumstances in New Brunswick.
