It's called kuru.  It's like mad cow disease, but it is passed from person to person.

Answer 2

I think the ankle is the only part you can eat from a human. thats what my mom said anyway. and it was also on a movie i watched where they get stuck in the snow and every time someone dies, they eat their ankle

Answer 3

Cannibalism has been suggested to cause certain brain diseases such as Creutzfeld Jacob.

Answer 4

Not much disease from eating people.  No worse than any other primate.  Don't eat the brains.  Zombies have to worry about this a lot.  You didn't tell us if you are a Zombie.  Are you.  .

Answer 5

You could also recieve any diseases that the person you ate had.
