After a few days, Explorer Nate isn't feeling very good. So he decides to head home until he feels better and to record his findings.
I'm not feeling very good so I'm going home.
On the walk home, Explorer Nate keeps stumbling and has a hard time walking.
I can't seem to keep my balance.
Once he gets home, Explorer Nate goes to the hospital to find out what's wrong.
I keep falling, my speech is slurred, I have tremors all over, and I randomly begin laughing and can't stop.
What seems to be the problem?
I'll run some tests.
After running a few tests, including a brain biopsy, the doctor returns with some bad news.
What's Kuru?
I'm sorry, but you have Kuru Disease.
As the doctor begins to explain what kuru is, Explorer Nate has one big question...
But how'd I get it?
Kuru is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that is uncurable.
The doctor begins to explain how Kuru is transmitted.
On the first day I ate dinner with the chief. It had meat.
Kuru is transmitted by eating infected brain flesh. When you were in New Guinea did you eat any meat?
That's probably where you got it.
