The column also notes leprosy is now Hansen’s disease with Dapsone treatment and rarity in the Western Hemisphere.

Mexican banks offer security but lacking US FDIC protection
A reader asks if Mexican CDs are as safe as US insured deposits. The answer notes no FDIC in Mexico, but cites a government guarantee that no Mexican bank fails, with the state taking over debts. It warns against US based investors routing funds to Mexican accounts via shaky credit unions and advises using major Mexican banks or established Mexico headquartered brokerages. It also briefly dismisses Keogh plan eligibility for a 72 year old with pension and part time work.
