people may have received it by contact with other humans and/ or run through family
many people got it
Lepers. Lepers were outcasts because of the disease leprosy from which they suffered. People believed leprosy to be highly contagious and so avoided people who had it for fear of catching it.
Leprosy was cured
Jesus performed thousands of miracles including walking on water, raising people from the dead, turning water into wine, curing people of blindness and leprosy and many other diseases that were incurable (or at least, at the time), and many others.
no
As far as I can remember, there were no mention of leopards (large cats) in the Bible. Jesus liked to heal lepers (people who had leprosy) because it was incurable then.
In Jesus' time, leprosy was believed to be highly contagious and incurable, so people were often isolated and considered unclean. Anyone who touched a leper was at risk of becoming contaminated or being considered unclean themselves. By touching and healing a leper, Jesus demonstrated his compassion, power, and willingness to reach out to those who were marginalized.
in medieval towns in europe when someone would get leprosy they would be sent to an isalnd where people with leprosy live.
No.
People who are in immediate contact with the leprosy patient should be tested for leprosy.
It is not certain that if you touch someone with leprosy you will even get it. Though the chances are extremely high, you might not even get it. If you do end up getting it, though, it will take time for the leprosy to start showing its symptoms. You do not get leprosy immediately.
often in scripture it talks anout how Jesus healed many and some of those people were lepers...i do not know of any other impotance.
Some people are genetically resistant to leprosy, probably and no matter what, they do not get leprosy. Other with tuberculous type of leprosy have high resistance to leprosy. Those with lepromatous type of leprosy have least resistance to leprosy germs. The intermediate leprosy type have intermediate resistance to leprosy germs. Body reacts to leprosy by trying to kill the leprosy causing germs. There is an inflammatory response.
