Three people have been diagnosed with leprosy in Florida and some of the cases are thought to be linked to armadillos.
Health officials in Volusia County said that the cases are not related, though two of those who have been diagnosed with Hansen’s disease, or leprosy, since October had been in contact with nine-banded armadillos.

It might work with predators. Not so much with trucks and cars, even those trying to straddle them. Hence the term, "Texas Speed Bump..."
OMG I hate that animal LOL. I have a stuffed Armadillo that I have no clue what to do with it along with a stuffed Baby Crocodile and a Turtles. As a kid having them in the living room gave me the creep as if they were watching me. The only thing I have caught from the Armadillo is the Creeps.
I see them as road kill. I swerve to avoid them.
Eyew.
Obama voters.
And what was life expectancy?
Not every time a person eats some critter will they come down sick but over time, as enough people eat the critters, viruses and assorted pathogens will cross over into the human population.
There’s a lot to be said for ordering it well done...
Possum on the half-shell.
We trap and destroy them, sometimes 6 or 8 each summer in mid-Missouri.
20 years ago, there were no armadillos here.
And he didn’t like it.

But be sure and count the bands (NO nine-banders)
LOL, people do eat them, or did during the Great Depression. I had a highly incensed Texan Freezer argue with me that they didn't, but they did. People did what they had to do. Heck, they were eating groundhog and possum here. Had to feed them cornmeal for a while to clean them out, I've heard. Tough and very strongly gamey otherwise.
I had some friends in Florida with an air boat and a cottage. Armadillo (Diller) and Swamp Cabbage and occasionally gator tail were not uncommon at the dinner table.
Armadillo recipe:
Catch and kill an armadillo
Clean it with a hammer and a hunting knife, (slight exaggeration) taking care not to puncture the pancreas, which may contain the leprosy bug
Discard the innards
Cut up the meat to your liking
Bread it in milk, egg, flour, or bread crumbs...some people prefer cornflakes
Heat grease in pot till its good and hot
Cook armadillo till done...make sure its not undercooked
Serve yourself and friends and enjoy it with a Shiner or Lone Star beet.
