Towards the end of the terminal stage, patients often develop chronic ulcerated wounds that can be easily infected.
More at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)
Symptoms of more common neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or stroke may resemble kuru symptoms. These include:
difficulty walking
poor coordination
difficulty swallowing
slurred speech
moodiness and behavioral changes
dementia
muscle twitching and tremors
inability to grasp objects
random, compulsive laughing or crying
from the site I looked at. When people have difficult swallowing, they tend to become malnurished and that can lead to the patient developing sores.
