Yes, leprosy is now curable! The cure for leprosy has been greatly accelerated. Within 24 hours of starting to take the medicine, the infection in the body stops. The good news of a cure is very hard to spread.
For thousands of years, the stigma has been the greatest emotional pain for people with leprosy and their relatives. The stigma is a far greater pain than the disease itself!
The most common outward symptom of leprosy in the early stages is a change in skin colour, with light patches appearing on dark skin. The pathogen first attacks the most delicate nerve endings: the sensory nerves close to the skin surface.
Leprosy is one of the oldest afflictions of mankind, but it is still with us today. Today, every two minutes someone on Earth is diagnosed with leprosy, and every fifth is a child!
