Leprosy — also known as Hansen's disease — is becoming endemic in the southeastern United States, rising evidence from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.

A recently published research letter from the CDC says Central Florida accounted for 81% of cases reported in Florida and almost one-fifth of cases reported across the U.S. According to the National Hansen's Disease Program, 159 new cases were reported in the U.S. in 2020.

"The problem here in the United States is partly people with leprosy coming here from other places," Marty said.

Yeah, partly.

On the bright side, there has been a large dropoff in finger- and toe-related disorders.

Import the diseased and criminal elements from third world countries, those countries basically dumping the worst of the lot on our border and the CDC pretends it is somehow a problem with the US..

This administration is an enemy to humanity.

WARNING— there are LEPERS at Disney World!!! Big surprise. The hotels in Central Florida have special rooms for reservation by Indians, Pakis, Afghanis... why? Because they cannot, using any known cleaning agents safe on upholstry, beds, curtains and carpeting which will remove the very evident odor of... curry.

Not kidding. But now the CDC puts out this garbage database with no explanation of how leprosy could get past....IMMIGRATION. It is a turd world disease long understood for prevention. Father Damien is turning over in his grave.

all by design. This is what happens to a nation where borders are non existent.

We know the uniparty members who are responsible for bringing these disease ridden free loaders to our neighborhoods!

The Democrats are definitely THE PARTY OF DEATH! They won’t be happy until all Americans are rotting on the ground.

Yep, that’s where we are at, with the explanations of this.

We aren’t allowed to talk about illegal aliens. We aren’t allowed to talk about immigration in general. We aren’t allowed to talk about aliens having diseases.

Since we aren’t allowed to talk about how people with these diseases got to America in the first place, we are supposed to be flummoxed about how all of a sudden, leprosy is found in America and spreading. We are not to make any connection between immigrants, legal or otherwise, having diseases, and these diseases getting a foothold in America.

It’s the same mindset, for which we were told not to talk about HIV/AIDS and homosexual men, or the monkey pox and homosexual men.

Fr. DAMMIAN...I was just thinking of him.

He ran a leprosey camp on one of the Hawaiian islands for years before he succumbed to it, himself.

While traveling, I bring my hotel room, also known as a camper, along with me by towing it.

No uncommon for blacks to eat armadillo and coon. I sold many back in the day to people across the tracks, all in cracker country. Same for gopher, but that’s illegal now.

I’ve been saying for 20 years - if you want to understand America’s future, look at Brazil, Bolivia and Guatemala

We have something of a joke at my house. Well, we joke ABOUT it.
So we come home from a restaurant, and my wife immediately reminds me to put my pants in the dirty clothes hamper and to put on a clean pair. “You sat where other people have previously sat.”
I call it the burn-the-pants procedure. It is especially noticeable after I travel on an airplane.
If lepers are coming to Orlando, one would think that people become lepers in Orlando.
And since this is FR, would it be okay to speculate? Did the clot-shot make people more susceptible to Hansen’s disease (leprosy)?

One suspects that the disease just might be imported from third world countries, thanks to Mister Biden's open border.

That said, it's treatable with antibiotics.

Per the CDC, around 34% locally acquired.

From whom, hmmm?

“...Given those reports, there is some support for the theory that international migration of persons with leprosy is a potential source of autochthonous transmission...”

Quelle suprise.

Problem is that drug resistance has become an issue.
