No, leprosy is not a tasty meal, actually, it is a terrible skin disease caused by a bacteria. This causes the formation of lumps and rashes on the skin.

Many Bible stories tell of healing of leprosy, and most of these stories include Jesus, God or a prophet washing the leprosy-diseased person in the Dead Sea.

In older times when there was no cure people with leprosy were shunned from the village or society in which they were living and forced to form Leper colonies where the infected lived (and died).

Now days there are treatments and cures for the disease.
