What do you think?
It's so hard to say without knowing all the facts.
Were the 12 of them close? It's trickier if not.
Did they all experience onset of symptoms within the same timeframe? Were those experiencing the symptoms first in contact with those who experienced them subsequently?

It's all odd.

Bottom line, we are unlikely to ever know if it's purely environmental/ medical.
And if it's not we have to wait for one of them to get older and write a tell-all.
And even then we can't be sure an unscrupulous agent/ ghostwriter/ editor is really interested in the truth.

A modern mystery indeed, Infi.
