Meanwhile...

“Tuberculosis is spreading in California, officials say. Silent bacteria could be why”

“The rate of TB in the Golden State has increased each year since 2020...”

The alien invaders brung it, but the faggots and other sexual deviants nurture it.

I do believe Hansen’s Disease is treatable with antibiotics. I do believe this article is meant to induce panic and find a way to blame DeSantis.

...couldn’t be from “newcomers, right?”

That’d be non-woke speculation...

My Great-grandfather contracted leprosy in the early 1930s, probably as a result of shared bunks on a trading schooner running the Tampa-Key West-Havana trade route. He left my Grandmother to live at the leper colony in Louisiana for his remaining days.

it is the armadillos.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/how-armadillos-can-spread-leprosy-180954440/

it is not very infectious person to person, but some cases in Brazil, Mexico and Colombia were caused by direct contact with such animals.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6746198/

It is easily treated with drugs. The main problem? Few American doctors have seen it.

Despite working in Africa, I have only seen one case, and that was a minor lesion that I biopsied thinking it was skin cancer. Another case that I biopsied turned out to be Kaposi's sarcoma, but one of our sisters had worked with lepers and she said it didn't smell like leprosy.

One of the subplots of the book Covenant of Water is about a doctor who treats leprosy patients before the treatment was available.

In the 1980s I worked with a nun who held clinics that gave out the medicine to people in villages in Liberia. So it is easily treated. The problem? Once the damage is done, it takes a specialist plastic surgeon or hand surgeon to fix it.

Much like Black Plague leprosy is a disease that never really went away, settled into the animal population (armadillos in America) and people actually get it all time. Which of course makes it ready made for fear mongers to periodically bring up like it’s a “fresh invasion”, but they’re outright lying. Global leprosy rates have averaged around half a million cases a year for the entire 21st century. Yes there was a big dip in 2020, but it climbed right back up after that. There’s nothing new here. Don’t pet armadillos.
