In this sickening episode, we're looking into the twisted world of diseases that push the boundaries of terror—illnesses that don't just destroy the body but unravel the mind. These aren't your average viruses or infections; these are the nightmares that blur the line between science and horror.

We'll diagnose the horrors of  Chronic Wasting Disease, Fatal Familial Insomnia, and Kuru.

These diseases are more than just medical anomalies—they're cautionary tales, dark fables of what happens when nature turns against us in the most terrifying ways. So, put on your masks, wash your hands, be careful of what you eat,  and try not to lose any sleep—because these afflictions might just haunt you long after the episode ends.
