Kuru is a rare, fatal neurological disorder that was once found among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. It is caused by the transmission of an abnormal form of the prion protein, which is found in the brain and other tissues. The abnormal prion protein is thought to be transmitted through the consumption of infected human brain tissue, a practice known as endocannibalism, which was once practiced by the Fore people.

There is no known cure for Kuru, but supportive care can help manage symptoms. This includes pain relief, physical therapy, and occupational therapy. Other treatments may include speech therapy, nutritional support, and psychological counseling.

The primary risk factor for Kuru is participating in ritualistic cannibalism, which was practiced by the Fore people of Papua New Guinea in the past. Other risk factors include living in a community where ritualistic cannibalism was practiced, having close contact with someone who has Kuru, and being of a younger age.

There is no known cure for Kuru, but medications can be used to manage symptoms. These medications may include antipsychotics, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants. Additionally, physical and occupational therapy may be recommended to help with coordination and balance.
