"History comes alive in the voices of those who remember it" - we take a look at documentary The Other World (La Muraille) https://www.eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/the-other-world-2025-film-review-by-amber-wilkinson #VisionsDuReel #documentary #leprosy #film #cinema
For #BlackHistoryMonth pharmaceutical #chemist Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for #leprosy. Though her life was cut tragically short, her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for women & Black scientists.
Ball studied #chemistry at UW earning a BSc & 2nd degree in pharmacy 2 years later.

@hacks4pancakes That’s such a betrayal, I don’t understand it, all I feel like I can do is make note of the betrayals so we never forget.
I hope people don’t pay money to go to a conference where they could be arrested and legally abused the moment they step outside.
But also, #leprosy is endemic in #Floriduh. It hardly seems worth any of these risks.

LEPROSY Release New Album, Reborn In Yourself

“The medieval red squirrel strain we recovered is more closely related to medieval human strains from the same city than to strains isolated from infected modern red squirrels. Overall, our results point to an independent circulation of M. leprae strains between humans and red squirrels during the Medieval Period.”

A health ministry survey has found some 35% of respondents have prejudiced or discriminatory attitudes toward former leprosy patients and their families. Leprosy is not highly infectious, but Japan's isolation policy was in place for about 90 years https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/04/05/japan/society/ex-leprosy-patients-opinion-survey/ #japan #society #leprosy #surveys #discrimination #japanesecourts #mhlw
It's a real renaissance for infectious #diseases in #Florida. #DeSantis' #antivaxx policies, and laissez-faire attitude towards #publicHealth has led to a massive spike in #leprosy infections in the state. Who the hell gets leprosy in 2024? Floridians, that's who! Nice job, Ron.

Leprosy Cases Surge in Florida as Experts Warn Ailment Is Not Ancient History
Ron DeSantis: Let’s make leprosy great again!
@ScienceDesk @TheConversationUS Of course, #leprosy is spreading in the anti-#science haven of #Floriduh.
Leprosy cases are rising in the U.S. What is the ancient disease and why is it spreading now?
@TheConversationUS spoke to Robert A. Schwartz, professor and head of dermatology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.

"Leprosy" VS "Slowly We Rot" (Old School Death Metal Guitar Riffs Battle)
@TonyStark Don't forget the #leprosy spike in #Florida. What a delightful state to avoid.
Nice job everyone, #leprosy is now #endemic in the US.
But next time some plague rat wants to tell me that I should be willing to get #Covid because it’s endemic I can tell them that now leprosy is also endemic but I’m still going to avoid that too.

Chrissakes! #Denguefever in Fla. Already had #malaria and #leprosy there. Are we fast-tracking to 3rd World status through our denials -- both #Climate and #Vaccine?
