Leprosy Can Prevent You from Feeling Pain — Literally
🔹 Leprosy (Hansen’s disease) doesn’t actually rot your flesh — instead, it kills the nerves that sense pain.
➡️ Because patients can’t feel injuries, they unknowingly damage their hands and feet, leading to deformities.
🧠 It’s not the disease directly destroying tissue — it’s the absence of pain causing long-term harm.
