Example text
Often, it is difficult to Section 1 establish neurotoxicity with certainty because of a lack of biomarkers for most toxins. However, when reasonably established, it is obligatory to inform the appropriate authorities of the nature and source of exposure so that others can be protected. As clinical neurotoxicologists, we should continue to follow the patient throughout the course of the illness. If additional signs or symptoms develop over time that point to another cause, then we should be ready to backtrack and consider other possible etiologies for the patient’s problem.
