National attention on Le Roy sicknesses

LE ROY, N.Y. (WIVB) - A bizarre illness that seems to be sweeping through a Genesee County school is gaining national attention.

Parents believe something is making students sick in the Le Roy School District. Two of at least 12 girls who have developed uncontrollable shaking or "tics" were featured on NBC's Today Show, Tuesday morning.

Doctors say it is a neurological issue, but many parents claim there's something else to blame. The health department says it has found no evidence that environmental factors are the cause.
