I think I know that funeral ritual thing. Is it that thing where when someone in the tribe dies, they eat the body or something? This was practiced in Papua New Guinea, from what I remember. We talked about this before in another Tokyo Ghoul forum and they mentioned something like that, as well as the laughing sickness. Actually, you get Kuru from eating an infected protein in the human brain tissue, and it's a rare disease. You don't get the disease just because you ate a human arm or something, but there is a chance that you will if you eat the brain.
