Leprosy Surge in Florida Linked to Armadillos | Indianapolis News
Published 1 day, 23 hours ago
Description
Florida’s leprosy cases are surging, with 81% hitting Central Florida—health officials blame nine-banded armadillos, which carry the bacteria and can transmit it through contact or contaminated soil. Symptoms may take decades to appear, but early antibiotic treatment is fully curable. Stay safe: avoid touching armadillos, wear gloves while gardening, and wash hands after outdoor exposure.
