Ignore the myths. Leprosy is totally curable.
Stopping the stigma is crucial. Leprosy isn't hereditary. It can’t be spread through casual touch. 16 million patients have been treated, and it's no longer a public health problem. By 2020, it could be eradicated completely. https://beautifulne.ws/311
Lately, scientists are finding that the route to the human stomach may run through our ears.
Anandwan, in a sleepy part of eastern Maharashtra, a state in the west of India, is a rehabilitation centre for 1,800 leprosy patients. It has healed more than 900,000 patients since it was founded in 1951. Most of them have since rejoined society. But the story elsewhere is not so happy. Leprosy continues to cast its pall over the rest of India http://econ.st/1aC3CvV

麻風病[1]（Leprosy），又作麻瘋病、痲瘋病、癩病等。醫學領域稱為漢生病或韓森氏病（Hansen's Disease），是由麻風桿菌（Mycobacterium leprae）引起的一種慢性傳染病。漢生病或韓森氏病之稱由來，則是出於麻瘋桿菌的發現者－挪威學者漢生（Gerhard Armauer Hansen）之名。麻風病是目前已知既不是性病，治療後也不是高危險傳染病。大約 95％的人是自然免疫[2]。目前確診麻風病在吃藥的一周內就有99%的病菌能被消除，並切斷傳染性，持續吃藥兩年，病情能基本治癒。

white noise
A random signal of every frequency in the audio spectrum, all of which have an average uniform power level. White noise is generated for a variety of purposes, including masking sounds in a room, testing loudspeakers for distortion and coloration and to provide input to a synthesizer, which uses filters to derive all of its sounds. Contrast with pink noise and Gaussian noise.
