“There have also been reports of people getting leprosy after coming in direct contact with nine-banded armadillos, which can carry the bacteria that causes leprosy.“
I don’t have 6k for leprosy treatment but fortune on your roll. I’m just saying there is a risk of contacting it through touch for the sake of clarity. It’s a weird thing that can happen from a mostly harmless animal that can have shitty consequences.
This nocturnal animal, the only mammal other than humans that is known to get leprosy, is a common sight in Florida. Papers estimate that, in some areas, 15 – 20% of armadillos carry the *M. leprae *bacteria.
