2: Travel author and novelist, PAUL THEROUX. In a new issue of the Conde Nast Traveler magazine --July 1993-- THEROUX recounts the abundant ailments and diseases he's contracted during his thirty years of world travel. Luckily, "Kuru" isn't one of them: a Papua New Guinea affliction of the nervous system where one goes mad, then dies trembling. The only way to catch it is after eating human brains.
