Old Ben in Freeside warns that eating strange meat causes debilitating shakes in normal, non-cannibal humans, and serves as a warning sign that they have consumed human flesh.[1]

  1. The Courier: "Butcher? How did you get into that?"
    Old Ben: "My father ran a butcher shop here in town, but business went downhill when another vendor started selling this strange meat at half of our prices."
    The Courier: "That sounds odd."
    Old Ben: "You're telling me. Not long after my father's shop went under and he passed away from the loss, people around town started experiencing shakes. No one gets shakes like that unless they're eating human flesh, but no one would believe me. The sick bastard gradually went insane and passed away. Wasn't long before someone moved into the guy's place and found half-buried human remains in the crawlspace. I didn't bother saying told ya so."
