Pretty sure you get it specifically from eating the human brain. I might be wrong.
No, you get it from eating meat contaminated with it. The human brain does not naturally contain prions. Prions are fatal. If you have them, you will experience rapid mental deterioration and eventual death.
The reason everyone thinks eating human brains will infect you with prions is because of the viral (no pun intended) news story of the Kuru disease discovered among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. They practiced funerary cannibalism, spreading the disease among their people for decades, but they stopped practicing cannibalism in the 60s and stopped seeing any cases of the disease after 2010.
Under normal circumstances you would not contract a prion disease unless consuming the meat of someone who already had one. Very very rarely you can spontaneously develop it (which is believed to be how the Fore people got it), but this is even rarer than getting it through consumption and typically only happens to older people. If someone is infected with it, then the brain contains the highest concentration of prions, providing the highest risk of contracting it if consumed, but again, that specifically relies on the person being consumed already having it. You wouldn't get it just from eating a perfectly healthy brain.

When you’re looking at fanart of your queen Marcille and suddenly get flash banged by a lesson about the affects of cannibalism
Damn this was mathy and realistically nobody's gonna care, but it got the better of me to try it out:
C = Chicken D = Common Bottlenose Dolphin H = Harp Seal M = Eurasian Eagle-Owl
I: Given that 2D+2H = 8, then D+H = 4 II: Given that D+H+2M = 18, then 2M = 18-4 and thus M = 7 III: Given that 3C+M = 13, then 3C = 13-7 and thus C = 2 IV: Given that C+2H+M = 11, then 2H = 2 and thus H = 1 V: Given that D+H = 4, then D = 3
So Mimi had 7 candies, Doiruka 3, Chicken 2 and Harp Seal 1. So in total they all gathered 13 candies (which was the question).
