I usually agree with you, local 12, and am against illegal immigration...to a point. But leprosy has been around and I disagree with some of the article.
Example: Bingham says without cooperation, leprosy, which has no vaccine, and is transmitted through the air, will spread, and could easily become an epidemic. "People absolutely should be concerned. What I'm afraid of, is when people start thinking about it enough, it will already be out of control."
