You don't really die from leprosy but the diseases that make the body weakened and/or the problems with this disease that form other diseases.

With proper and EARLY treatment death can be prevented and now there is even a cure for this disease.

Technology has come along way since people dying from leprosy.

But do remember the disease is contagious, highly contagious.

Here is a website actually a few of them where you can learn even more on this disease.
