Today was fun, busy and tears filled.
We went on an excursion to QIC LEPROSY HOSPITAL Etinan and the sight was really something I haven't seen before.
During the lecture,
Before we got there, we were all scared that we were going to contract the leprosy *lol. I told @augustinebella and she said I shouldn't come to her house so I don't get to infect her... We got to the hospital and we met with Dr. Afia the medical superintendent who showed us around. We got to different sections of the hospital.
- we got to know that leprosy is one of the oldest disease known to man
*the incubation period is average of 5 years
*MDT (multiple drug therapy) is the treatment for leprosy. - leprosy is also called Hansen disease
- it is caused by mycobacterium leprae
- leprosy cannot be contracted through kissing, hugging, talking or sharing utensils.
- Finally, Leprosy patients are called PAL i.e PEOPLE AFFECTED WITH LEPROSY.
When I got home,my friends were running away because they were scared I had contracted it.
