Hansen's Disease—commonly known as leprosy—is having a moment in Florida. The extremely rare illness, which infects the nervous system and can cause deformities, has been transmitted to nine Floridians so far this year—close to double the number infected in previous years. Health officials believe armadillos may be to blame for the increase and have advised people to stay away from them. [...] All nine of Florida's current cases came into direct with the animals. "There's a clear reason why this is happening in Florida," Dr. Sunil Joshi, President of the Duval County Medical Society in Florida, told CNN. "New homes are being developed and we are tearing down armadillos' homes in the process. Now these creatures are coming out in the daytime and the people who are getting exposed are those working outside."
