Arm(adillo) Yourself

Before I start a national panic, however, I should explain that leprosy (aka Hansen's Disease) is still rare in the Unites States, is very treatable, not highly transmissible, and with early diagnosis and treatment, is neither disabling nor life-threatening. Problem is, of course, that most people in developing countries where leprosy is more prevalent don't have access to the care that can keep it from becoming devastating.
