Answers:
This is a direct quote (well, rip off anyway) from wikipedia:
Leprosy (from the Greek lepid, meaning scales on a fish), or Hansen's disease, is a chronic disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae!.[1] Leprosy is primarily a granulomatous disease of the peripheral nerves and mucosa of the upper respiratory tract; skin lesions are the primary external symptom!.[2] Left untreated, leprosy can be progressive, causing permanent damage to the skin, nerves, limbs and eyes!. Contrary to popular conception,[3] leprosy does not actually cause body parts to simply fall off!.
Historically, leprosy has affected mankind since at least 600 BC, and was well-recognized in the civilizations of ancient China, Egypt and India!.[4] In 1995, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that between two and three million people were permanently disabled because of leprosy!.[5] Although the forced quarantine or segregation of patients is unnecessary
