It's from ANY nervous tissue in the body

Eat enough and you get it

whats a kuru

Super nasty disease crafty

Common among cannibal tribes

degenerative brain disease

You don't really have much of a brain to rot.

kuru however is not Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

kuru is extremely rare

Lel

It's still around.

true, but the reason humans don't really eat eachother nowadays is the threat of spongiform encephalopathy

however its mostly caused by beef and other animal meats

thats why its called mad cow disease

?? It is not caused by beef. It's caused from eating nervous tissue in the human body.

Mad cow disease is something else.

yea ik

im just stating the difference

Two completely different things lmao.

That's apples to oranges, mate. The two are not the same thing.

If anything, MCD is more akin to rabies 🤷

Whereas kuru is much, much nastier.

@Crafty Long story short my dude, kuru is what you get if you are a cannibal. It ruins your body, and turns your nerves to mush.

It's also called "Skull shivers"

sounds fun

so any human tissue not just the brain matter?

No, nerve tissue.

So say you chomped down upon an arm: You WILL eventually get kuru.

It is merely faster, if you eat brain tissue.

what if I cook it?

Still gonna get it.

damn

Mhm.

Cannibals will always get kuru it's a fact lmao

there goes my dream of becoming the real life hannibal lector

Well to be fair, he knew what parts to go after.

whats kuru?

Sigh.

I just explained it :P
