Hansen’s Disease
Hansen’s Disease is a chronic infectious disease caused by a tiny
bacteria that invades the body, causing symptoms
including nerve damage, lumps, and or ulcers on the skin, weakened muscles,
and inward curling of fingers and toes. If untreated there can be
progressive, permanent damages which can result in loss of muscle control
and crippling of hands and feet. Eye involvement can result in blindness.
Most specialists agree that 95 percent of the world’s population has
natural immunity to the disease.
