= = =4. Summary= While researching about leprosy I learned about that the disease leprosy had something to do with God, rich people had higher value, and what leprosy is. First of all I learned that the disease had smething to do with God. The lepers were considered unclean and sinful, because God had given them the disease for being sinful. Next I learned that rich people had higher value. The rich that had leprosy were considered hero's and that it wasn't their fault for getting leprosy. Lastly I learned that leprosy is a disease that is hard to identify. It Mainly affects the skin and was considered highly contagious in the middle ages. The bacteria is called Myeobaterum leprae, found in the 1940's. The disease is found in both genders from three monthes to 40 years! The average though, is three to five years. All in all leprosy is now considered not dangerous and can be cured.
