These are some of the less repulsing pictures I saw of leprosy. There some with huge blisters and sores all over their bodies (including their faces and some missing complete limbs that were "rotted off". These pictures are the easier to handle ones without getting sick, and to think this disease still goes on today, although now we have medicine to treat it. Can you imagine living back then when there was none? No hope except for the hope of Jesus to come and heal you before it was too late.




Good Night to All and May God Bless!
