According a research letter published by Nathoo and his colleagues in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases, Central Florida has reported among the highest rates of leprosy in the United States.
In 2020, 159 cases were reported nationwide, compared with 200,000 new cases each year around the world, according to the World Health Organization. The new letter says Central Florida accounted for 81% of cases in Florida and nearly 1 out of 5 leprosy cases nationwide.
but then, we loose out on like, a good quarter of the Florida Man stories. (granted it’s mostly just Ron in his underwear doing meth again… but details.)
I love a good Florida Man story from time to time but in this case I say stop diddling fauna. In the long game we are way better for it :)
Yeah.
Probably true.
