The strange disease of cannibals, which was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, and t

Island of New Guinea.

It used to be a very closed island, and on this island, there are unique cultures and species that belong to this island. Of course, there are many primitive tribes on this island, but there is one primitive tribe that is very special, called the Farleys. Here, scientists discovered a very strange disease called Kuru disease.

When this disease occurs, the patient feels a headache at first, and then the whole person will have muscle spasms.

Inexplicable hand dance, and then the whole person becomes dementia paralysis, and incontinence, and eventually the patients with this disease will die in continuous laughter, it is because this disease is very strange, so scientists began to study this disease, scientists took a sample from the brain tissue of the deceased, and then injected it into their own chimpanzees.

in the brain. <>

At first, there was nothing unusual about the chimpanzee, but after the third year of injection, the chimpanzee began to walk unsteadily, and in order to study the chimpanzee's lesions, scientists directly euthanized the chimpanzee.

The brains of chimpanzees are then studied. The study found that the chimpanzee's head had many plaques and holes. Later, scientists speculated that the disease was not genetic.

is a virus.

But if the disease is really an infectious disease, then how does it spread? Later, scientists found that Kuru disease only appeared among the Farei people, and only women and children were affected. And the Faray people also have a very shocking tribal culture, which is cannibalism.

Of course, this cannibalism is not the kind of cannibalism that people have in mind.

They just dig out the brain guts of their deceased loved ones and eat them, because the locals believe that the dead will bless the living descendants. And this custom is that only women can eat, and some scientists think that this situation is also because of the local environment, many resources are almost eaten by people, and they can only rely on eating people to supplement nutrition.

As for why children also get sick, it is because there are many women who will secretly give their children the brains they leave behind, which leads to children also getting sick, but you must know that in the last century, the Farley people have stopped this practice, but there are still continuous infections.

Appear, what's going on? In fact, this is related to the incubation period of Kuru disease, which is as short as three years and as long as several decades. However, not all patients who eat human brains will die, and there are some survivors, and these survivors are because there are some genes in their bodies that can resist the virus.

Since this gene is so magical, can the extraction of this gene benefit all mankind? Actually, no, most people in the world have genes to resist Kuru disease. But why is this gene so widespread all over the world?

Scientists said that in ancient times, perhaps the ancestors all ate people, and there were no resistance genes at that time, and many people died, and those with resistance genes survived, so they have multiplied to this day.

This is mainly a brain disease, and there is no way of transmission itself, but the child's mother will secretly feed the human brain to the child, so the infection occurs.

Maybe it's because you eat some kind of food and then you keep laughing. Otherwise, this would not have happened.

In fact, it is because some biologists have found that if the same kind eat the same kind, it is likely to cause the body to secrete a substance that can cause animals and humans to go crazy.

This disease is called Kuru disease, which has a slow onset and an incubation period, and it is very strange that people with the disease start with headaches, then severe to convulsions, and finally die laughing.

This condition is called Kuru disease, and when it occurs, it has the following characteristics:

1. When Kuru disease occurs, you will feel a headache at first, then your body will tremble, you will dance involuntarily, muscle spasms and other symptoms, and then the whole person will begin to become dementia, neurological abnormalities, paralysis, incontinence, and severe inability to eat and drink. Until he dies laughing.

2. The incubation period of Kuru disease is relatively long, ranging from 3 years to decades.

This disease is only for children, women get it, and most of the people who get sick are people who have eaten "human brains", and the reason for eating "human brains" is very simple, because of the scarcity of food, they think that the dead will protect the living, so they will eat these.

When the patient develops the disease, he will only feel a headache at first, then there will be tremors, some will even involuntarily start to dance and dance, muscle spasms and other symptoms, and then the whole person will begin to dementia, neurological abnormalities, paralysis, incontinence, and even unable to eat and drink. Eventually, they will mysteriously die laughing.
