I wonder how this could have happened? it almost seems like geographically displaced persons are not being screened for diseases before allowing them to infect other people.

Certainly our government would never allow that?

[unixfox]

All these diseases “suddenly” popping up all over the country. Gee, wonder what caused that.

Armadillos are known to carry leprosy! Do not touch!...................

[Bob434]

the gov should be sued for increasing danger to the US by allowing diseased peeps into hte coutnry without any screening

Get your vaccines folks. Yes there is a leprosy vaccine. Those who are against vaccines are getting it. It’s the BCG vaccine for those who change their minds and want the vaccine.

I’ve heard of cases in Arizona from prairie dogs but not in that neck of the woods.

Armadillos.

[keats5]

Crazy.

The good news is that leprosy responds well to a combination of antibiotics.

[CodeToad]

That is a central area for foreigners.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

I've always heard that Armadillo's were the primary source. They look like armored opossum's and hop around like a bloody Roo.

I wonder if there’s any “abandoned” rat and infectious disease warehouses in Central Florida like they found in Central CA in Reedly?

"Dr. Savage" predicted this in his book "Government Zero: No Borders, No Language, No Culture.".

Too many people touching turtles and snakes and other ground dwelling creatures.

I wonder if it’s been weaponized thru illegals now. So CDC says leprosy spread by droplets-sneezing etc and NOT by tactile casual contact. Then how do get it from an armadillo? Armadillo sneezes in your face? Something is off. Other sites about leprosy also say spread through droplets but not through casual contact- but prolonged exposure. SO why are there all these cases? Per American Academy of Dermatology Association: “Because so many people are immune, how we catch it is still a bit of a mystery.
Scientists have learned that to catch leprosy, a healthy person must have months of close contact with someone who has leprosy. It’s believed that the disease spreads when a person who has leprosy coughs or sneezes. When a healthy person repeatedly breathes in the infected droplets, this may spread the disease.
It takes a lot of exposure to catch leprosy. If someone has leprosy, a single handshake or few hours spent sitting next to that person won’t spread the disease. You’d have to shake hands or sit next to that person often to get leprosy.
You can also get leprosy from an armadillo. It’s possible to catch the disease by handling an armadillo or spending time in an area where these animals live.”

Do armadillos carry leprosy? Some say yes, some say no:

… but scientists now believe the illness spreads slowly if people inhale bacteria.

Oh crap! I threw out my supply of face diapers last week!
