Does cannibalism rot your brain?

Question

Does cannibalism rot your brain?

I don't want to hear your moral opinions on the subject. I just want straight up facts on if it does, and links to explain these facts even further. Thanks.

Answer 1

Cannibals in other cultures have been known to contract a disease called Kuru, which does, indeed, destroy the brain.

Answer 2

Aside from the mad cow thing, you can get a fun disease from eating brains and stuff, zombies are excluded since they don't need to worry about it. If you stick with the muscles and whatnot and make sure it's cooked (humans aren't known for being the cleanest of animals) you should be ok. Make sure you get the well-marbled people though, starving people always make the mistake of eating the ones who die first, which means there isn't enough fat in the meat to metabolize the rest of it.

Answer 3

Depends. How are the people prepared. Raw- not the safest of choices. Cooking should kill off any germs/virus/etc. Eating the brains and CNS might not be a good thing either. and no matter what do NOT eat Clowns, they taste funny.

Answer 4

Well if cow's eat cow parts it causes mad cow disease, the cow go's crazy and evetually dies if it eats to much. If humans eat humans it will rot your brain and eventually kill you. Seen it on channel 8

Answer 5

yeah it does if you do it over extended amounts of time. that is what mad cow comes from, feeding cows food with beef in it.
