France has begun a national investigation into why babies are being born without hands and arms across the country.
The country’s health minister has announced that several new cases were reported this week, and people are alarmed that some kind of toxin could be at play.
The public health agency has identified over twenty cases of these birth deformities over the past 18 years, all in different areas of the country.
Investigators plan to “go back to the mothers” and find out what the cases have in common.
