Though leprosy is categorized in the Guiness Book of World Records as the worlds oldest disease, This fast is in fact false.
The Worlds oldest known disease which is still very much rampant across the world, Is arthritis. Archeologists have found dinosaur bones that showed moderate to severe joint damage due to Arthritis. Thus making Arthritis the worlds oldest disease.
