Sorry but you lack compassion. Leprosy is not even as virulent as you make it to be, certainly not like ebola or else the whole area would be a disaster zone by now. All of us went to school.

This one wey you use type this thing here ehn, you could have called or tagged the relevant authorities... You reek of hatred.... Calling a person a 'being' in such context is denigrating... Also, associating demolition of houses to this particular situation is totally out of it....


. Lastly, Leprosy isn't an Airborne disease
I know the forum. This is how i know to go about it. And the condition is extreme. That is no longer a human condition in any way


Thank you

Yes, leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease, can be transmitted from person to person, but it's not highly contagious






The bacteria that causes leprosy can also remain in the soil for a while

Lagos state needs to have its acts right. The state should not be very proative about raising down buildings in the name of developments and urban renewal and relegate health conditions of the residents.


At Allen Junction, just at the bus stop imagine. There is a being with FULL BORNE LEPROSY there seated in the full glare of everyone in the area. Leprosy is an air borne disease. Imagine having such a human being in the open every day, imagine the millions of microbes that this man is broadcasting.


Please lets do something about calling the authorities to the situation by pushing this thread to the Front Page.


Please
Quack Doctor.
Who told you Leprosy is an airborne disease inasmuch as it is a communicable disease?

Mycobacterium Leprae is the leprosy germ transmitted by the vector, cockroach.

You can CONTACT it only when you share personal items or articles with the sufferer or have bodily contact with him or her.

It is NOT AIR BORNE!

Not in that case. But in contact with the bacteria. But a severe leprous case shouldnt be in a central business district. Cprrect me if i am wrong

The tone of your post though. A being? No kind word for the unfortunate person with the disease. The risk alert raised is not bad though
He exposed his quackery there because no well trained medical personnel would describe a sufferer of any kind of infection in such a derogatory manner.

Leprosy is not an airborne disease. pls accept the correction about it. Secondly it can only be transmitted through close contact, skin to skin contact, water contamination and the bacteria *(mycobacterium leprae) that causes the disease is are not highly contegious.

Pls don't let it get at you.
Stop feeling bad.
We all make mistakes but the mistakes notwithstanding, you've passed a strong public health information across to the Lagos State Government.

I'm sure they'll do the needful.

Always looking for an avenue to insult Lagos state government. What has bringing down an illegal building have to do with a leprosy?

If you are really serious about your report, you would have just call Lagos State emergency number via their toll free numbers.

112 or 767
What's his offense. Reporting health hazard being constituted by an individual? Do you know if he has those toll free numbers to call Lagos state government?

Why do you always read meanings to genuine complaints. You think you love Lagos or more committed than him?

There is limit to eye service or support to an establishment. You goofed with your comments!

Leave the poor beggers abeg.

Don't complicate thier matter.

Rather call forthe Government to run a campaign to treat them.
It's as airborne as covid19...
It's transmitted in air via aerosols.
