Here’s what actually happens if you eat human flesh!

While we don’t recommend you actually do it, eating human flesh from the body probably won’t do you any harm as long as you cook it properly. The brain is another story.

Eating human brains can infect you with prions, dangerous misfolded brain proteins. This can lead to a neurological disease called Kuru, which can lead to Parkinsons-like symptoms and eventually death for sufferers.
