Here are a couple of links to a prion disease called "Kuru" that occured in the South Pacific that was caused by tribal members consuming their
dead:

This spongiform encepholopathy occured in the late 50's....
There used to be a webpage for the National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) that mysteriously shut down one day stating that it's founder
(Colm Kelleher) went into the cancer research field, which it said he always wanted to do. Strangely enough, that was the field in which he was
employed when he first founded NIDS so I don't buy it.
NIDS reported on the so-named "Men In Black" which were frequently spotted at night in the same areas that people were finding their cattle
eviscerated the next morning. This activity was blamed on extra-terrestrials, but in fact, NIDS found that when they investigated the cattle
mutilations, the cattle were most frequently missing their eyes, tongues, brains, and stomachs. Guess where most prions from Mad Cow disease are
found in cows?
Also, in the areas that these mutilations were taking place, there is a Mad-Cow like disease (Chronic Wasting Disease) that is running rampant in the
deer and the elk population. In short, NIDS suspected that the government was tracking Mad Cow under the "UFO" guise of cattle mutilations.
Here is a link to a PDF of that report, which I think is going to go down as one of the most important scientific papers of our time:

It is 33 pages long, but it is a fascinating read, with a few case histories and photos!!
