    Leprosy has a cure. Heck. Even the bubonic plague has a cure now.

    Sorry Cybergal... I have to call BS on this one. Leprosy is quite curable.

    This sounds like more of an attack on Tyson Foods.

    It is treatable. The article stated that there was no vaccine. A vaccine is something used like the small pox vaccine to stop an epidemic. The epidemic can no happen and treatment will then have to follow. The doctor is only trying to get the info out to the public.

    Leprosy is treatable when detected early. If not.... you're screwed.
