I heard this story at work that sounded hard to believe, I did some searching and could not come up with any real evidence that its true, just more stories with "I heard from this guy that he knew this guy who knew a girl ect with no actual credit, but it goes like this...
This woman was at a bar in NYC, while at the bar she had a few drinks, and a random man started hitting on her. She ended up making out with this man and later got his phone number planning on meeting him again. When she returned home she noticed a big sore like growth near her mouth. He friends told her it may be a STD and that she should go to the doctors office to get it checked out. After a couple days as it grew bigger she called and got a appointment. After the doctor was done examining the gross growth near her mouth, instead of telling her what it was he ended up calling the Police.
(this part is where I found it hard to believe and wasn't on the news, or even a article ect.)
When the police showed up the doctor finally told her what his diagnosis was... Its a sore generated by eating decaying flesh! The police asked her if she was a cannibal, if she shared drinks/chapstick with anybody ect, then she told them about a guy she kissed in a bar and gave them his contact information. Police show up at the mans house and find 3 half eaten women victims, and he claims that he picks up random girls at clubs/bars and takes them home to make "dinner" for them.
Has anyone else heard this story, or know of a news article this appeared in? This seems like one of those email scare tactic stories like the bug in the bras (way more interesting though) resulting in women having living larvae coning out there breasts.
That's what I was thinking, the person who told me the story claimed to know someone who knew the person (lol) but I don't see any reason she would lie to me. So I prolly just got trolled.
How would the doctor draw the conclusion that it was decaying human flesh & call the police? He wouldn't and I don't even think you get a sore in your mouth from eating shit gone bad, especially if you brush your teeth once a week atleast.
Stupid,fake "crazy" story. Read 120 days of sodom if you want crazy fun.

Unless im reading your post wrong it wasn't her flesh actually decaying but a bacteria from eating spoiled human flesh.

Seriously though this is false here is the article: Snopes.com
Yea I didn't say I believed it, it just sounded like a interesting story that would ultimately be more interesting if it were true and if anyone has come across any real evidence.
In England it seems to circulate in a few different versions. The main one is a girl went on holiday to Amsterdam and ended up getting with a guy at a nightclub but not going home with him (even though he insisted), developed mouth sores, went to see doctor, doctor calls police, turns out it's some form of herpes only obtainable from dead people or something else (i'm not even sure that's possible?). Police bust, dead bodies. Pretty much the same, a few different places tell it differently. Except each time the person claims it to have been the friend of a friend or something similar.

But that is very rare and only if you consume their brain/spinal matter. Anyway, I've never heard of sores specific to human flesh consumption so most likely, it's a BS story just to mess with your head. Oh and i doubt the media would've looked over a cannibal killer without making a huge fuss so if you can't find any articles in newspaper sites/sources, it likely doesn't exist.

Most definately an urban myth. As said by others you can get a certain disease from eating human brains, but it will not result in a "growth" as far as I know.
It is in fact possible to contract diseases from rotting flesh. These diseases are similar to things you would contract from eating rotting meat of any kind. I have heard this story also, a fairly long time ago and it was presented to me as being true. However I was much young and not as much of a natural skeptic as I am now. It fails a simple Google test, with nothing surprisingly substantial appearing on the first five pages or so. It leads me to believe it probably is a derivation and hyperbole of a true case, exaggerated through the oral story telling tradition.

Also heard this story a long time ago, didn't believe it then.
Just like the story about the police are too busy to respond to a ongoing burglary, the house owner calls again just to say he shot the guy, and 4 police cars appear within 5 minutes.
heh Its maybe just Déjà vu but i remember it from somewhere but it was little bit different but yea that story probably came over the world so some details can be changed. Cannibalism is scary as hell
im pretty sure this is an urban myth, because my friend tried to tell me this exact story. He told me that it was his friends friend who was the girl. I didn't really believe him, but he was pretty adamant that it was true.
People (or rather kids) make stuff like that up all the time. Say there was an a priori (i.e before hearing the story) chance of this happening of 1%. There's also a 20% (a priori) probability of someone making up a story like this. This leads to 1/21=4.8% probability of the story being true and 95.2% of being made up.
Of course the numbers are just guesses but I think they are at least in the right ballpark. That's before failing to find anything on google. Now it's more like 0.1 and 99.9.

It is also known as the ''shakes''. It makes your muscles contract uncontrollably. The story behind Kuru is quite intresting, and horrific.
As it has been said many times, from a medical point of view, this is total bs. You can get any bacterial infection you could possibly get from eating corpses by any other means. Fun fact: the more rotten a corpse gets, the less toxic it actually is, because putrefying bacteria, most of them are almost non pathogenic, take over the corpse and push back the harmful pathogenic bacteria.
edit about the kuru disease, you would have to eat human prion infected brains for like 20 years or something. But the question that bothers me most is: why would some maniac dude who normally eats woman for dinner, go to a bar and only make out with a girl?

although this story in the OP might not be true, here's one that might make you cringe, it made me cringe :/
my girlfriend went to China when she was younger, and she can't read Chinese (she was only there visiting with her mom), but her mom could. Apparently, her mom was reading a popular newspaper and told my girlfriend that a female college student went missing for a while, and they found out what happened to her. She dropped out of school to go into prostitution.. not even the girls older mother or closer family thought that she would be doing this (at this part, my girlfriends mom showed my girlfriend the picture of the girl they put in the newspaper).
The girl ends up sleeping with the wrong guy, who kills her and chops her up - sells her body parts in the meat market, probably preparing her meat so its indistinguishable from other regular meats (i can only imagine). The word gets out about her meat being sold in the market a couple days later, after people have already bought her human flesh and cooked it/ate it. Many people were scarred for life and became ill from even the thought of it.
If anyone has more info, that'd be awesome.. this is only what I heard, and I can't find anything on google about this :/
Goddamnit, that was horrific but I LOL'ed after reading a lot of the stuff in that article.
Yeah, that was fucking insane, but....
"He asked Ressler to give him access to a radar gun, with which he could apprehend the Nazi UFOs, so that the Nazis could stand trial for the murders. He also handed Ressler a large amount of macaroni and cheese, which he had been hoarding in his pants pockets, believing that the prison officials were in league with the Nazis and attempting to kill him with poisoned food."
There was a cannibal tribe out in the backwaters of Panama when I lived there. You should look up cannibalism on Wikipedia and read the WWII part. Apparently there are cases of Japanese soldiers eating captured POWs.

This is why I don't kiss guys.
Edit: Yeah probably an Urban Myth. A person wouldn't get sores like that by kissing another who eats humans. That's not how diseases work.
Well, one of the guards of the building Im working on had a serious rash on his lip a couple of days after his brother died. It happened when he was at the morgue and decided to kiss his brother goodbye. Dead bodies carry a shitload of germs from decomposing flesh, so the infection the woman had on that story I would say is believable.
If you eat decaying flesh, you will most likely (within a short period of time become paralyzed and soon after) die of botulism. No time to be making out with women. Also, it's just toxic, not contageous. Also, whenever you hear a bullshit story, you might want to search snopes.com before posting on a forum, because it does make you look a bit silly.
These urban myths are pretty lame and weak. I dunno why people bother to invent them when the real stuff is so much more morbidly interesting and crazy.

Sorry I don't often surf the web, so I didn't know about snopes. I also don't "normally" research what would happen if I ate a person, seems a bit silly.
This remind me of hong kong movie untold story (1993), which starred Anthony Wong who played the martin sheen equivalent role of hong kong "the departed" who an restaurant owner kill human to used than in human meat bun. The trailer claim based on true story.
After 4 pages, people still think this may be real?
Nowhere it mentioned she ate decaying flesh, no way you'd get a 'growth' near your mouth from eating decaying flesh, much less by making out with someone who did. I don't think it would matter if the decaying flesh were human or not. Human flesh (or meat) is pretty much the same as other meat, it may not be very juicy and quite tough or leathery, but there's nothing wrong with it biologically.

Sure, but if you hear a story that relates to what happens if you ate a person, you might want to do basic research about it, before propogating baseless urban garbage. It will make you like a smarter person next time when you filter yourself.

Sounds similar to the urban myth where a girl gets maggots growing in her mouth from giving a blowjob to her boyfriend who is a mortitian, and it turns out that he has been fucking the corpses.

This is so off topic, but I can't help myself. Anthony wong does play the police captain in the movie "infernal affairs", a hong kong film upon which the american film "The Departed" was based. Infernal affairs has what exactly to do with anything in this thread?
BTW, infernal affairs is a better movie than the departed in my opinion, and the departed was damn good.

Lol, but these are most certainly false because a story like this would never have missed the news and there is always a load of crap going around around the internet.
Actually the story could easily be true, my co-workers cousin used to go to mexico to rave and met a guy she though was cute there. After a few days of going down there to see him she got a weird rash on her lips, went to a doctor and the doctor eventually call the cops. Bacteria that you get from eating human flesh was the cause thus the cops organised a sting using her to catch this random guy. Long story short they caught him and fjound human flesh in large baggies in his house. We were totally sure it was true but we found the American news articles and the Mexian news articles and the story was legit O.o needless to say i didnt feel like eating much the rest of that day

Bro this is actually very good advice.
My current girlfriend had the pleasure of having her drink spiked at a bar and trust me when I say watching someone suffer under the effects of flunitrazepam isn't really that cool at all.
While I agree living in fear is ridiculous in general I would never ever leave my drink unattended at a bar in a large city, just asking to get fucked up.
I Don't think a doctor could discriminate between "a sore caused by eating decaying human flesh" and "a sore caused by eating decaying animal flesh"... Although I've heard of some brain diseases linked to cannibalism.
Hey man there was once this ugly-ass japanese dude, his really short and I'm going to say ugly again for emphasis.

Sharks Wary of Drunk Serbs Thursday, 16 December 2010
Dragan Stevic of Serbia is the new Egyptian hero who killed a large shark which had previously terrorized numerous tourists (injured 4 and killed 1) at the famous Egyptian resort Sarm El Sheikh.
The Serbian hero was too drunk to remember what had happened, though one of his friends who witnessed the incident explained it all for the Belgrade based media. Dragan Stevic was dubbed by the Egyptian media as "Shark El Sheikh" and thanked him for saving their tourist season.
Milovan Ubirapa, one of Stevic’s friend who witnessed the incident explained that Dragan had decided to go to the beach for a swim after a long night of drinking. As Dragan and his friends approached the beach, he saw a fairly high positioned jumping board utilized earlier in the day by divers.
“Dragan climbed on the jumping board, told me to hold his beer and simply ran to jump. There was no time for me to react or to try to stop him, he just went for it” says Milovan. “Dragan jumped high and plunged down to the sea, but didn’t make as much splash as we thought he would”, explained Milovan.
The reason could be because Dragan Stevic ended up jumping straight on the shark which was lurking near the beach, probably looking for its next victim. Dragan had nailed it right in the head, killing it instantly. The Egyptian police found the shark washed out on the beach that morning.
Dragan was able to swim to the shore and told his friends he had twisted his ankle, telling them the water was not that soft. The water is soft buddy, you just landed on a shark. At the moment, the fearless hero is in a hospital recovering from alcohol poisoning. After Dragan gets well, he will get a chance to have some more drinks as the resort had awarded the Serb tourist with a free vacation for his heroic deed. // Pero Stamatovski

Not possible, especially a noticeable sore the same night. But stories like this still can be entertaining. This isn't really the best example of it, but has anyone read the 'short story' the Russian sleep experiment? People immediately jump on it for being untrue, which it obviously is, but it's fun to read.

do you really think the world is a happy place? =] cause that's cute. Be sure to walk into stranger's vans when they offer you candy ;D
There is a difference between being skeptical of stories you hear from a friend that heard from a friend or stories you read on the internet and being deluded enough to believe that everyone is a good person that would do no wrong.

Sounds crazy and it is crazy. It may be true, but normally rumors change as they go around, so this may be exaggerated. Wudnt it be on the news aswell? CHances are this is made up.
Pretty much guaranteed urban legend. There are all kinds of bacteria everywhere, and there is absolutely no way for someone to prove that a certain bacteria is linked with decaying human flesh. There is no way something like that can be upheld in a court of law to justify a search warrant.
Medically and biologically, it just does not make sense.

Care to read up on kuru disease before you spout off?
It's caused by a prion, not a bacteria. It doesn't cause a sore. No one will ever find anything by culturing it, which is what a doctor would do even if it did cause a sore. The only realistic scenario would be if an autopsy of the inflicted was performed and they find the prion in the brain.

The list is rather numerous and are almost exclusively bacterial. Instead I will explain the common symptoms which usually include vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, ulcers, build up of fluids, fever. Death is usually not a result, mostly due the fact that the symptoms are all matters of your bodying trying to evacuate the contaminated meet. However complications, or compound effects can cause death.
lol, yea i've heard that story before but not from someone from nyc, dont remember but everything else in the story was exactly the same, definetly just a myth xD
