Ancient biblical disease arrives in Ohio

Ohio has reported two cases of leprosy (Hansen's disease) this year, marking a rare occurrence with a total of six cases over the past decade. The disease, caused by bacteria, is curable with antibiotics and is primarily linked to international travel or contact with armadillos in some regions. Health officials emphasize early diagnosis and treatment to prevent spread, with leprosy being very uncommon in Ohio and typically affecting immigrant or refugee populations.
