To further investigate this matter, in 1992 the FDA contracted the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) to produce a detailed report, which was ...
Multiple trials were performed, with subjects exhibiting at least two symptoms continuing. Two people out of the 130 responded to all four challenges. Because of the low prevalence, the researchers concluded that a response to MSG was not reproducible. [27] Studies exploring MSG's role in obesity have yielded mixed results. [28] [29]

The condition results from past exposure to certain tick bites and was first reported in 2002.
