    I really detest the inaccuracy of the disease 'Kuru' as portrayed in game. It states If you consume uncooked (or raw) human meat you run the risk of contracting this disease. This means you run no risk of contracting the disease If you eat cooked human meat? I don't think the Dev team even bothered googling a synopsis of 'Kuru' and how it's transmitted. Kuru is a prion disease and is contracted by eating neural tissue (pretty much any part of the nervous system or brain) of another human being. Cooking the meat will not kill the pathogen as it's a misshaped protein unlike bacteria or protozoan pathogens so that's inaccurate to say the least. In game I think the disease has the characteristics of a bacterial infection. Heat can kill it and you can get it from eating any other part of a human... So why Kuru? Did the Dev team just Google 'eating people diseases' without any proper research? I think it'd be more believable for me If you just put in Ebola....
