Ooh! Ooh! We were just talking about this in microbiology! It's called Kuru. It is a spongiform encephalitis caused by a prion. One gets it from postmortem cannibalism, and it was discovered in a tribe that ritually eats the brains of their dead tribemates. It's also called laughing sickness because one of the symptoms (as its eating holes in your brain tissue) is inappropriate laughter.
I thought about eating humans after reading a thing about the ten most infamous modern day cannibals- Why was I so grossed out? Humans are just meat, like any other meat; muscles and fat and skin...
I was vegetarian for the next 23 years.
