What is it? Kuru is a neurological disorder caused by what's known as family mortuary cannibalism, or eating your dead family members. It occurs specifically when the brain is consumed due to an infectious protein it may contain called a prion. It's also known as the "laughing sickness" because of the bursts of laughter its victims displayed when they were afflicted with the disease.
