Armadillo Blamed As Leprosy Source In Texas Study
Baylor College of Medicine researchers Dr. John Wolf Jr and Dr. Lee Lumpkin III report a study of five leprosy patients who had extensive armadillo contact. They caution the link is strong but not conclusive, noting hand injuries from armadillos and lesions on hands. They advise gloves and hand washing for handlers, stressing leprosy is rare and treatable.
