"Leptospirosis"
What is that? Is it related to leprosy? Or...cholera? Are you an infectious diseases expert, hence your name?
Where are the diseases of yesteryear? Sorry, I get silly at 5:30 am, like clock-work!

Leptospirosis is caused by a bacteria that usually infects wild rodents. It can be acquired through exposure to contaminated water or rodent droppings. Not related to leprosy or cholera.
Although infectious diseases are not my specialty, I know quite a bit about them.
