gogo armadillo's or lay off the roadkill

Leprosy, I caught it when I was only three,
Bits and pieces keep fallin' off a me

(to the tune of Yesterday)

Armadillo's are transmitting a new strain of leprosy to people in the southern US. I guess this is another case when if you're not with us, you're with the, um, Armadillo's. Although apparently 95% of humans areimmune to it, so I guess the report card will read 'must try harder'.
Although I still think it's uber cool that Armadillo's are the only reservoir for leprosy that transmits to humans.

So lay off the roadkill.

This has been a public service announcement from me, and Benriach Solstice.
