Leprosy myths and facts from experts
Dr. Walsh explains leprosy affects millions globally and in the United States, spreads mainly via skin contact or coughing, but is less contagious than believed with 95 percent naturally resistant. The disease can cause nerve damage and skin lesions, while social ostracism and long drug regimens hinder treatment. WHO aimed to eradicate by 2000, a goal experts doubt realistic given long incubation and drug resistance.

Counties gain control as state realigns health planning duties
The Western Maryland Health Planning Agency will close by July 31 and counties will take over health planning duties including certifying need for medical facilities. Frederick County Health Director Dr. James Bowes says the shift lets counties influence state health care proposals directly. The move follows a state realignment placing county officers under Deputy Secretary Georges Benjamin. Garrett County plans to send a formal request to influence proposals, while the agency’s remaining budget funds severance for a three person staff.
