I was working on syllabi and came across this video. Kuru disease - TopicsExpress



          

I was working on syllabi and came across this video. Kuru disease is caused by an infectious protein (prion) found in contaminated human brain tissue. Kuru is caused from people eating the brain tissue of dead people as a funeral ritual. The disease is most prevalent in Papua New Guinea. I would love to encounter these people during my upcoming worldly escapades. Culture and traditions intrigue me. But this disease is no joke!
