For those like myself who may have cannibalized human flesh yesterday against their will there are a few medical precautions and concerns you need be made aware of.

If you have consumed brain matter, there is a chance of infection from TSEs, or prion diseases. In the human world I am familiar with, these diseases are without treatment, and prove fatal. Please watch for neurological impairments, such as memory loss, change in personality, headaches, and unintended movements such as trembling.

More likely, however, is the possibility of disease transmission through blood. Commonly one would expect to see HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and assorted viral haemorrhagic fevers. Please be aware of symptoms such as fever, muscle pains, swollen lymph nodes, blood in urine or stool, or increased susceptibility to common illness such as a cold.

Tests are available for some of those diseases- it may be advisable to report to a medical professional and have said tests administered.

...

Thank you.
