How Armadillos Can Spread Leprosy
Last week, officials in eastern Florida announced the emergence of three new cases of leprosy-the ancient, highly stigmatized disease once handled by isolation-in the last five months. And two of those cases have been linked to contact with the armored, strangely cute critter endemic to the American south: armadillos.
2 California Kids Likely Have Leprosy
You might think of leprosy as a Biblical-era disease, but it's still around-now known as Hansen's disease-and two schoolchildren in California's Riverside County likely have it. As LiveScience reports, Hansen's disease is rare in the U.S., with just 100 to 200 cases reported in a typical year, and it's not clear where the children may have caught it.
When the Last Patient Dies
Kalaupapa, Hawaii, is a former leprosy colony that's still home to several of the people who were exiled there through the 1960s. Once they all pass away, the federal government wants to open up the isolated peninsula to tourism. But at what cost?

The Harrowing True Story of the Exiles of Molokai: History of America’s Only Leper Colony (2006)
Molokaʻi or Molokai (/ˈmɒləkaɪ/; Hawaiian: [ˈmoloˈkɐʔi]), often called the Friendly Island, is an island in the Hawaiian archipelago. About the book:
It is 38 by 10 miles (61 by 16 km) in size at its extreme length and width with a usable land area of 260 square miles (673.40 km2), making it the fifth-largest of the main Hawaiian Islands and the 27th largest island in the United States.[2] It lies east of Oʻahu across the 25-mile (40 km) wide Kaiwi Channel and north of Lānaʻi, separated from it by the Kalohi Channel.
The island has been known both for developments by Molokai Ranch on much of the island, for pineapple production, cattle ranching and tourism. Residents or visitors to the west end of Molokaʻi can see the lights of Honolulu on O'ahu at night; they can view nearby Lānaʻi and Maui from anywhere along the south shore of the island. In Kalawao County, on the Kalaupapa Peninsula on the north coast, settlements were established in 1866 for quarantined treatment of persons with leprosy; these operated until 1969. The Kalaupapa National Historical Park now preserves this entire county and area.
Beginning in 1897 much of the western end of the island was purchased from Hawaiians by Molokai Ranch to operate a cattle ranch. From 1923 to 1985, they leased thousands of acres of their land to pineapple producers, and the pineapple industry thrived on the island, continuing to attract Japanese and Filipino immigrants as low-paid laborers. Since the late 20th century, the pineapple industry has suffered across Hawaii.
Over the years the Ranch company has also acted as a developer, establishing hotels and related amenities for resort tourists on their property. In 2007 community residents organized in the Save La'au Point movement to oppose Molokai Ranch's attempt to expand its resort operation.[15] As a result, on March 24, 2008, Molokai Ranch, then the island's largest employer, decided to shut down all resort operations, including hotels, movie theater, restaurants, and golf course, and dismiss 120 workers.[16]
Because of its rural, agricultural nature, Molokaʻi has Hawaiʻi's highest unemployment rate. One-third of its residents use food stamps.[17] As of 2014, the largest industry on the island is seed production for Monsanto and Mycogen seeds, including GMO seeds.

U.S. Leprosy Budget Cut Closes Clinics, Threatens Research
About 3300 people in the United States need care for leprosy, also known as Hansen disease. Leprosy can damage nerves, discolor skin, and cause disfigurement if untreated. Although antibiotics can clear the infection, U.S clinicians often have difficulty diagnosing the rare disease. The United States has long had a National Hansen’s Disease program which for several years had a budget of $15.2 million. The new congressional budget has reduced it to $13.7 million, a cut of about 10%. Although a 10% cut may seem minor, it will likely close clinics and impact research.

Leprosy stigma | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Leprosy stigma
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Leprosy stigma is a type of social stigma, a strong negative feeling towards a person with leprosy relating to their moral status in society. It is also referred to as leprosy-related stigma, leprostigma, and stigma of leprosy. Since ancient times leprosy instilled the practice of fear and avoidance in many societies because of the associated physical disfigurement and lack of understanding behind its cause. Because of the historical trauma the word leprosy invokes, the disease is now referred to as Hansen's disease, named after Gerhard Armauer Hansen who discovered Mycobacterium leprae, the bacterial agent that causes Hansen's disease. Those who have suffered from Hansen's disease describe the impact of social stigma as far worse than the physical manifestations despite it being only mildly contagious and pharmacologically curable. This sentiment is echoed by Weis and Ramakrishna, who noted that “the impact of the meaning of the disease may be a greater source of suffering than symptoms of the disease”.
