Leprosy is on the rise in the US, esp southeastern US. Central Florida is turning into a Leprosy endemic.

It's now treatable, curable and preventable.

It may begin with loss of sensation on whitish patches of skin or reddened skin.

Leprosy is known as the “biblical disease”, a punishment for sin. In the middle-ages, it was celebrated when a leper died.

Fear led to tremendous stigmatization and social exclusion.
