The Kongo Bongo Gone Wrongo is a disease that appears in the Donkey Kong Country animated TV series, where it's the primary focus of "Speak No Evil, Dude.
Description[]
Cranky uses nectar of the rare Tin Banana Tu, a purple species of banana with an extremely foul taste, to create a vaccine and plans to vaccinate his fellow Kongs and to eradicate the illness. Diddy Kong schemes his way out of receiving the vaccine using two coconuts, but is later bitten by Polly Roger, which infects him; afterwards, Diddy spreads the disease to Krusha, who then spreads it to King K. Rool, both via sneezing. Fortunately, thanks to Donkey Kong, the three victims are cured before the disease completes its final, fatal and threatening stages.
From what is known and stated about the disease, birds such as Tropical Toucans are carriers; it can be transmitted through their bites and pecks, as well as via sneezing. Its only known cure is the nectar of the rare Tin Banana Tu. A healthy diet also prevents infection - General Klump explains hat he avoided catching it by eating at least one-hundred garlic cloves every day, as the smell and taste of the garlic repels the disease.
