Leprosy

Leprosy is a disease caused by a bacteria. It affects the skin first and eventually the limbs. Their skin becomes scaly and gets ridges. The limbs become disfigured and lose function. People who get leprosy are usually living in bad conditions.
Oddly enough, researchers have found that armadillos are the only animal other than humans that can contract leprosy.

Leprosy Health & Special Psychology

I do believe it attacks the nerves and the result is your body does not respond to small scrapes and infection and gangrene can set in due to that. It can cause very serious disfigurement because of the side effects.

Interesting information on the armadillo Sahara!
