This appears to be your garden-variety leprosy, which is in most armadillos.
Don’t touch anyone for about 20 years, and you will still need six months to a year of antibiotics to cure the infection, but at least you have an enhanced, even over-sized enhanced, younger liver, this study would appear to show.
Pretty extreme potential fix, but easy to try…
No, please don’t do it.

The liver regenerates itself if you don’t poison it too bad.

I picked up an armadillo while intoxicated.
I figured the leprosy and booze canceled each other out.

Well, induced botulism is used to treat certain nervoe-muscle disorders. Nature can be amazing.

So, the UN or some such organization raised alarms over the prospect of the 8th billion human being born today. They claim (Bill Gates, et al) that the world is over populated. They sponsor a vaccine that kill people to depopulate the world.
And, these other idiots want to enhance human livers to extend lives.
Or, am I seeing this through jaundiced eyes?

Unfortunately, leprosy rots out the rest of your body.

Livers regenerate on their own. One big problem is when damaged and dead and sclerosed liver cells block regenerating cells from proliferating to their normal anatomical position.. Gotta get the scar tissue to dissolve.
This finding may explain why extra tissue growths (nodules) occur on the bodies of untreated lepers.

There is a genetic disease that causes overproduction in the liver of, Alpha-1 proteinase. Alpha-1 causes irreparible lung damage. Basically, the enzyme is like scrubbing bubbles that never stop scrubbing and so tears the lungs up. There is no cure for this ‘genetic COPD’ although there is a somewhat controversial treatment, prolastin, that costs thousands of dollars through “speciality pharmacies” that requires weekly infusions. It would certainly be an astounding breakthrough if an off switch could be more cheaply produced from lab-rat ‘rejuvinated’ livers that could actually cure this genetic anomoly and eliminate the cost and need for weekly transfusions.

Unfortunately, leprosy rots out the rest of your body. In most cases leprosy is easily cured or at worst controlled with common anti-biotics.
One problem with this treatment maybe that the number of people susceptible to leprosy is rather small outside of the Middle East
If you can’t be infected how can the bacteria do their work to grow your liver.

This was in 2002, so I’m all good.
