The disease has been around since ancient times, often surrounded by terrifying, negative stigmas and leprosy patients being shunned as outcasts.
Today, with progress in science and healthcare, Leprosy is not a curse anymore. It's just a skin disease which can be cured in due course of time with proper treatment and medicine.
