Its not nearly as bad as it sounds unless you are vegan...

Some Armadillos can carry leprosy. It is NOT a good idea
to eat one.

It's not an urban legend either. I did a term paper on
"Hansen's disease" (aka Leprosy) when I was a junior in
college when I took my path' micro class.

Funny thing is, it is not endemic to the species.

We infected them with it and they escaped. :-P

Stupid human trick.

Looses most of the effect when you can't spell it.

While I'm not convinced that exposure to a leprosy-infected
armadillo is particularly dangerous to humans, given that
leprosy remarkably difficult to catch, the squick factor is
*really* high and I doubt I'd eat one myself.

That is the weirdest thing -- I'm curious who chose the poor
armadillos. Corroborated at the WHO website:
who.intmicro.htmOpen ↗ ,
specifically the sections "Culture in vivo" and
"Transmission." Do you have more specific cites regarding
such research?

Honest to goodness, is it some kind of law that if you
correct someone's spelling, you will misspell something?

Yep, kind of loses instead of looses. Spelling does make a
difference.

Actually it is. Usenet tradition holds that spelling flames
have misspellings themselves.

Well, this was 19 years ago and the interenet was not what
it is now.
<G> I did my reasearch the old fashioned way, in the
University library. The paper is buried somewhere in a
box in storage. I got stuff from research journal
articles and a couple of books.

Mycobacterium leprae is an obligate parasite that needs
living tissue to grow, so cannot be easily grown on a
culture plate, only in cell culture plates which did not
exsist many years ago when they were first doing research on
it. It was found that it grew well in the footpads of
armadillos. It needs a cooler temperature which is why it
infects the hands, feet, skin, nose and ears first, parts of
the body that don't maintain a 98 degree body temperature. I
imagine if it tolerated higher temps, it'd kill you faster
with organ infection.

Nasty bug!

Anyhoo, it was a leprosarium in Louisiana that first used
Armadillos to grow it for research, and they put them in
dirt bottom pens.

The infected armadillos dug out and escaped. :-P

It's a law that if you let your finger rest just a touch
too long on the "o" that you get toooooooooooooooooo
many of them.

Looks that way, which is why I sent in what I did. Why is
that some people need to make such a big deal about people's
spelling and typos anyway? Must be because they are very
insecure people.

So, maybe you should try to not be so critical of others
when you yourself are not able spell as correctly as you
would like others.

Great English capabilities there. Thank you so much.
