http://d.hatena.ne.jp/keywordmobile/%83N%81[%83%8B%81[%95a
The epidemic of the brain (autonomic nerve, muscle) which occurred in limited tribe *1 with Papua New Guinea. A kind of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
■Cause
There was a custom to eat the body to condole with this tribal dead person in (mainly until the 1960s) in the - 20th century for the Stone Age, and it was elucidated at time by the body of the dead person that I took in prion (bad protein) accumulated and became sick. Because it is a role of a woman and the child to eat the part where a lot of prion including the brain is accumulated, there are many onset examples of a woman and the child. Because an attack latency period is long, and the example called 50 years is reported, the patient seems to occur in the present when a custom of the man-eating was prohibited.
■Symptom
A meaning "to shake" with local words with "the kuru." When this disease develops, I cause abnormality, and autonomic nerve cannot control the muscle. Walk difficulty and an arm or a foot become stiff, and the quiver of the muscle may not stop. In addition, not only the abnormality of the muscle but also brain shows a symptom and dementia, a decline and the feelings of the memory are disturbed intensely and do it. Furthermore, I am considered to be a mortal disease after the onset in around one year.
