*lightbulb* :p :p :p

Random thought.

Had to get it out.

Wouldn't it suck!?!? Ewewewewewew. :(

Ew.

EW.

I would just stab myself :(

Leprosy is the disease where all your skin rots away, right?

Right anyway, I would never ever ever want that to happen. Ew.

I hope I never get it! How do you get it anyway, so I can stay away from whatever it is?

PS. No offense to anyone that has leprosy, I hope I don't drive you to suicide or anything :O

I thought it was when limbs kinda just fell off, guess not. I got that from how it's shown in family guy, :love: so I guess they kind of overexaggerated(sp??) it a bit. And yea, it wouldn't be that nice to have leprosy.

on the plus side, i'd have my own island.


leprosy is a disease which destroys the nerves and hence you can't feel anything when your body is damaged and protect it, so eventualy it begins to fall apart.

Yes, I agree that it would be terrible to catch leprosy.

So scary ;o

" Approximately 150 people are diagnosed with leprosy each year in the U.S. "

:eek:

Edit: At least it doesn't make your skin rot away by itself, you have to get it injured first. So I would just stay in bed and not move @_@;

staying in bed and not moving leads to bed sores which can become infected and life threatening, it's what killed superman.

limbs dont really fall off. its where all the nerves are affected and so all your fingers toes etc are numb so if u catch them on somthing or even set them on fire you wont feel it. nasty
did some fund raising for a charity called Lepra.

REALLY?! Wow, I didn't know that just staying in bed was that bad, how long do you have to be in bed for before you get bed sores.

:love:

couple of days, but you have to stay exactly still, even in your sleep you move. it's just when people are paralyised they occur.

Damn it, even lazy bums like me can get nasty stuff. And if they can kill superman, I'm stuffed :D

I think you have to stay in bed for a long time before you get bed sores. My grandmother was unable to walk towards the end of her life, so she was bed ridden. She had to keep being repositioned in order to prevent bed sores I think. I don't really remember that well. Anyway, it'd suck to have leprosy!

This is a rather intriguing fear you have of Leprosy, Jojo. There are diseases I can think of that are just as bad, possibly even worse, but well, I guess we all have our experiences :p .
Leprosy is bad, though.

In House, this little boy got leprosy, but he thought it was a curse from a Oujii board, or something. xD

It can be helped with medication though, I think. It was in House at least.

Isn't there some way to treat leprosy by now? I know it's still a problem in third-world countries, but I'm surprised it still effects people here.

Way to state the obvious.

On a similar topic, it would also suck to be quadraplegic, whether leprosy-induced or not.
