Brain Prion Disease
corroborated
Short answer
Uncontrollable laughter and aiming tremors after cannibalism indicate brain prion disease. Normal medicine does not cure it.
Also: kuru · giggles · giggling · laughing sickness · cannibal disease
What to do
Stop consuming human-derived food. Expect laughter and tremors to persist. Do not waste ordinary antibiotics or vitamins trying to cure it. Plan around the permanent impairment or respawn.
How it works
Cannibalism can cause a permanent disease state. Cooking human meat does not make the prion risk safe.
