I couldn't stop laughing about what your bio teacher said. Too funny!

Kawasaki's (a.k.a. Kawasaki syndrome and mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is a children's disease and 80% of those with it are under the age of 5. It occurs more often in boys and in those of Asian ancestry. It involves inflammation of the blood vessels and affects the mucus membranes, lymph nodes, blood vessel walls and the heart. It's not fatal.

Kuru disease is a progressive neurological disorder that occured mainly in the Fore natives of the New Guinea highlands and is associated with cannabalism - eating the tissue (flesh and organs), particularly brain tissue, of dead family members. This practice is no longer in use.

Take this to your bio teacher and give HIM a lesson!

Completely wrong. Kawasaki's disease is a childhood rheumatological disease that has nothing to do with "eating brains". It is more common in Japan but it can be seen elsewhere in the world.

Your teacher might have been thinking of "kuru" which is a disease that used to affect cannibals in New Guinea that was transmitted from human brains. It's similar to "mad cow" disease.

that's hogwash. kindly read the answers that were given. They're completely informative.
