No leprosy in Thailand. Besides, easily cured when found out in time. Stop scaring people!

There is leprosy in Thailand. Back in the 70's I visited a leprosy colony in Chiang Mai, which is still going. From my recollection, it is the least contagious of all contagious diseases, and you need to be receptive to catching it and be around someone with it for many many years to get it. It is almost impossible to catch and if you do, it can be treated.

In India, some people that get leprosy don't get it treated as it helps with their begging.

Didn't watch the video, but I don't think from the post they are trying to scare anyone.

Would Aljzeera lie for any reason?

In Nakhon Sri Thammarat, Southern Thailand, there also is a leper colony.
