I have to do a report on leprosy for one of my classes, but i can't seem to find anything on:

-How you can get the disease

-If the disease is communicable

-If it is caused by a birth defect or heredity

-And if it can be prevented and how

I found everything else, so if you can find ANY of these things, *not necessarily all of them* I would be glad to give you a 5. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Leprosy is a diasease that attacks the skin,nerves,eyes,and respiratory tract.
You get leprosy by being around someone
who has it or a effection in the restpitory
system.In 1940 dapsone was used to calm the attack yet does not cure it.In the factor of having leprosy patients were atught to take care of themselves by using a visual check is they have hurt themsleves.They look for cuts and bruises one can cause the effection to get worse.
Leprosy is characterized by multiple lesions accompanied by sensory loss in the affected areas. Usually, sensory loss begins in the extremities (toes, fingertips). In many advanced cases, gangrene sets in, causing parts of the body to "die" and become deformed.
