leprosy
Is leprosy infectious?
Yes but only mildly so. It
is very difficult to catch and cannot be caught by a handshake. Over
95% of the world’s population is naturally immune to leprosy. Treatment
with Multi-Drug Therapy (discovered in Ireland in the 1970’s) means
that sufferers can be made non infectious in 24 hours.
