Rising evidence is pointing to the possibility that leprosy has become endemic in the southeastern U.S. with Florida being named at the top.
First malaria, now leprosy. What is going on here?!
I mean, they wanted to return to Bible times. What’s Bible times without lepers and plagues? /s
It’s just the south, it’s like Pellagra all-over again, obviously science is conspiring to insult the good Southern name!
Welcome to a GOP/Nazi wonderland! Malaria, leprosy, book burning, and slavery apology. Well done Ron you would be so good for America.
Armadillos have been the main cause of the spread of leprosy in the South-Eastern United States for decades. I don’t know if the increase is due to more people walking barefoot, man increasingly encroaching on armadillo habitats, an increase in the armadillo population, the leprosy bacteria surviving longer as the weather changes, something else, or some combination. But if you live in an area with armadillos, you should wear shoes outdoors.
Duly noted, seems like everyone but me knew this! Growing up in the south , barefoot is very natural. I’ve done tons of stuff barefoot. However, once I’ve learned this, it will no longer be a pleasure I’ll take part in. Glad you wrote that out because it’s not something they put in the papers, so to say. It’s damn sure not going to be shared by many people who like to live with their head up there ass so here I am, thank you!
This is very confusing! I think you’re saying: don’t walk barefoot outdoors where there’s a bacterial contamination concern. This seems too simple! Please help!
“I don’t need no shoes, I have perfectly good soles on my feet!!! 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷”
😞😒🙄
Now why bring Liberia into this?
Well the GOP did it on Independence Day so now it’s just funny.
It’s almost as if Florida has somehow offended God.
God’s punishment for what they’re doing down there
Florida man contacts leprosy from another Florida man
I had no idea leprosy was even a thing in the US…
It’s extremely uncommon but does happen. Thankfully it can be cured with drugs.
Florida got plenty of drugs.
every can survive in Florida. unfortunately, most things are actually parasites.
i thought it was Florida
Not too surprising considering the number of armadillos there. I feel bad for those fuckers. We gave them leprosy.
That entire state is a cesspool of humanity. This is not a surprising result.
Fascinating, another thing to add to the list of worries I guess 😂
with all the Christians running around down there, somebody must know how to cure lepers
No, theodwere, leprosy is a matter of personal responsibility
