RE: Armadillos & Leprosy - IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW

in #health8 years ago

When I moved down to Florida over a year ago, we had an armadillo living under the shed. I got my camera out and snapped a few pictures with the zoom because I didn't want to get too close. I found out later, after doing a Google search that armadillos carry leprosy and there are a few cases (I don't remember how many) in Florida! I was like what. the. fuck?!? Leprosy in America??? YIKES! I should dig out those photos. I was really amazed at how beautiful the armor is.

I was surprised and amazed when I heard that too, especially since I had been playing with them!
