Parents and students in Jurupa Valley could be dealing with a rare disease from the middle ages.

Some parents refused to send their children to school Tuesday after receiving a warning from the Jurupa Unified School District about two possible cases of leprosy affecting students at Indian Hills Elementary School.

At this time, it remains unclear if the students are related to each other.

The director of disease control for Riverside County said a school nurse notified the health department of the rare disease on Friday.

Leprosy is a rare disease, but it’s been around in modern times...

Not just from the middle ages...

Thank you democrats for driving the US into a third world status...

Leprosy is actually very hard to “catch”

I served (briefly) in Carville, La.

Leporasy IS contagious by skin-to-skin contact, by fluids or bodily wastes exchange (gay sex, common washing or sharing contaminated clothing), and to a lesser level by secondary surface contact (skin-to-surface-to-skin/mouth/food ...)

These illegal aliens who brought into the school did NOT just arrive without countless hundreds of OTHERS touching and sharing and exchanging the contamination.

Leporsy is not 100% contamination exchanged (despite the old “walk on the other side of the road” rules for lepers, but it DOES have to be taken seriously.

By everybody except the Obola administration’s rules for importing as many million illegal aliens as possible at least.

Widows and orphans...and communicable diseases.

Mom & Dad will shop at Whole Foods and buy fair trade coffee but their attitudes miraculously change when Junior is facing Third World infections...

From the Middle Ages?

Leprosy existed long before the Middle Ages, and it still.exists today.

What is the author talking about. Mayne they are confused with the Bubonic Plague

I read that armadillos carry the bacteria that causes leprosy.

No Armadillos in Southern California...

Usually cases like this are in people who either grew up in a family with an afflicted member, or a village where it was endemic.

Almost all cases in the US are either immigrants from endemic areas, or live in Southern Louisiana / SE Texas
