as far as i understand it they can technically just show up, without you having to eat anything. it’s one of those “could kill you from nowhere” things, like false vacuum decay.
but eating human meat, especially brain, will significantly increase the risk, yes
False vacuum decay is one of those theoretical things that we have no way of knowing if it could ever even happen. Now gamma ray bursts, they’re out there happening right now and could kill you just as instantly!

Not limited to human though. BSE (B for bovine, cow) is basically the same, caused by having pulverized animal in their feed.
Btw, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy translates to cow sponge-brain sickness.
