Leprosy in America

[12eebok]

@youHaveNoChance South America = America too, retard. 

[youHaveNoChance]

@12eebok Noooo...then the video title would've been "Leprosy in THE AmericaS." See the difference? When South Americans visit Europe, they sure as shit don't tell people "I'm from AMERICA."

Learn some geography, douchebag.

[youHaveNoChance]

@12eebok And these people are obviously from south Asia, with all the turbans and saris. You're just full of fail today, I'm afraid.

[superscyther]

@youHaveNoChance you have to watch the rest of the video

[assmonkey626]

uhhh... when you say treatment you really should say cure it just takes longer to rid the disease from the body than most other diseases. This is a bacteria not a virus its a problem for developing countries who cannot supply the proper amounts of anti-biotics due to budget and logistics problems. this video is bullshit

[Streichwurstable]

it´s kind of depressing to know how much other human beings suffer on this planet while you are at home, drinking ice tea or watching tv.

[Dropkick32X]

why don't we hear about this in the news!? oh yeah! They're focused on the Swine Flu BS!! Damn Fox News!

[azerty7190]

i'm getting sick just by watching these images

[maxinpains]

it's comming to U.S. as well.. this isn't make sense & we demand the treatments for all.

[jannikmt]

@bioshockfan1 not if the people can't aforded....

[Death4life1]

I feel so sorry for the people with leprosy

[LadyAkit]

All right people... i think we've heard enough about vitiligo now! Vitiligo is NOT this! vitiligo dosn't cause loss of boddyparts or damage to nerves!!

[AnonymousWhitePerson]

The Lepor of Calcutta and New Delhi is a species unkown to Zoology.

[324fender]

since it is caused by bad bacteria.. seems like the only places u can get it is in the poor countries such as egypt/india/sudan/ethopia etc.. these people shouldnt put up with it, they should just comit suicide, why would you rot while breathing, look at king baldwin V the king of jerusalem back in the crusades.. his in the movie kingdom of heaven and it shows that hes sisters son had leprosy aswell, so she poisoned her son so he wouldnt suffer and end up like her brother

[BigBikerBob1]

I didn't know that stuff was still around in this day and age. Leprosy sucks!

[xsh3ldonxppc]

they may have found one since he did this video, back in 2007 but i don't know.

[maleficarum87]

Death - Leprosy

[BigBikerBob1]

True

[Bleuesoul89]

i thought leprosy was when the body loses it pigmentation and skin becomes white.

[kanaakabriana]

that's albino,(:

[maxypooh15]

, thats vitiligo. Dont you know you are born albino???

[cuterunnergirl]

@Bleuesoul89 No that's Vitiligo. ( which MJ had)

[cuterunnergirl]

@Bleuesoul89 No that's Vitiligo. ( which MJ had)

[ThisIsCleverUsername]

pretty disgusting

[Vinchenzough]

nice vid...

[vexun11]

great video, I learned a lot

[krissytree]

Great video !! Well done , scary but well done . why is there no cure you would think that they would have found a cure by now . I have heard that 95 % of ppl are immune . but where is the cure ... not like we havent had enough time to fix this problem.

[empressoffrance]

@krissytree Way back they used to send criminals to leprosy colonies. What a shame, you wd think as long as it as been around they wd have found a cure by now. Let a famous person or politician get it. They will very quickly try to find a cure. Horrible disease.

[megaman2160]

what cause leprosy? i remember jesus healed a man of leprosy.

[maulcs]

They'll cast you out... like a leper!

[akualtekefan]

thanks what a great video! I kknew very little about lepracy and just started doing some research lading up to our visit to the laprasitaurium. It was good to see these photos and hear the infor great vid!

[porchetta18]

I love the song...

[samlovesironmaiden12]

i cant even watch this its very depressing.

[timninerell]

leprosy will take control and bring you to your death.

[belgarde1986]

God be with them

[djmrbrown00]

really glad i watched this thanks for posting!!

[licocipoton]

ROTTING WHILE THEY BREATH - DEATH COMES SLOW.

[RottLoco]

larga vida a DEATH

[leela194]

I feel bad for them

[Vico85]

OMG, poor people... T-T

[wheelz23]

so horrible seeing people dealing with this

[yoitsrachel101]

that's undeniably horrible, not even remotley funny ..

i can barely look at that, i can't even imagine going through that !

i feel so sorry for them .

[zaftmesterio]

i had psoriasis and i thaught i was worse and how much i hated it how much trouble i got because of my whining.. until i saw this broke my heart to know that these people a litrally dieing.. but i hope they find a cure or something to prevent this disorder.

[TheMarkOfTheBeast1]

Exactly.

[mistaspot1]

Wowzerz

[freshtre8]

GOD BL3SS DESE PPL!!

[ManageDiversity]

why?

[TGGGGK]

i'm sorry for those ppl!!

[tedchirvasiu]

this is so sad :(

[cooldit1]

I feel so bad for them. They probably don't enjoy living too much. Sick all the time, no fingers, toes. They will die in pain, live in pain. I feel sorry for them. I believe in god, and if they go to heaven, they will be restored to good health, and be in the great hands of their maker instead of being ridiculed for being trapped in an unprotected body and have people make fun of them constantly.

[ilosiks12]

verry good video, helped a lot

[xjumpinjellybeansx]

creatures? there people you idiot and ya they do have feelings what is wrong with you jerk if there not people what r they huh? just because they have a desiese that doesnt make them creatures and really those people dont need your approval

[1stYUTuber]

to: nativeboyns , if u're the govt, citizen will leave the place. why? cus public can see wht u r doing, they know that u r cruel. eliminated them just bcus they have disease is wrong.There will be a protest against the govt. Then u will hav to spend a sum of $ to control protester, chaos happen. leprosy is one of the oldest disease known to man. and dont think that killing them will stop the leprosy disease. Is much better that u spend $ to do research to find the cure then killing em.

[killamandem]

is there a cure

[mikejohn75ll]

omg!

[paintedwarriors]

thank you for posting this. i just teared up when i saw those poor people.

[jessethegimp101]

dude......i could shed a tear right now. before i watched this i was unaware of leprosy in america. thank you for the upload

[gtaobsessed]

this is pretty sad but it was also an interesting watch

[invisiblebunny219]

omg.. ever since i watch a bible movie and they spoke of this..i wondered what it was..but i never could have imagine anything like this .those poor people.can you catch it from being around them..or is that just not true

[MondoBeno]

In the old days, they were wrong about leprosy. A lot of the diseases thought to be leprosy were in fact eczema, psoriasis, acne, or allergic rashes.

[SecretagentLeon]

uh no offense but thats kind of making me sick (Throughup)

[allzy475]

this is sooo sad!!! i wish there was a distinct cure for this horrible disease!!! for those of you out there who dont care, have a heart wow this is reallyy sadd and im extremely fortuanate

[thingstosay2]

but the disfigurements resulting from the disease are hard to cure (assuming people don't have access to expensive plastic surgery)

[luxxor09]

leprosy is not easily cured by antibiotics. you have to take it for a couple of moths before you get cured, and many ppl can't afford that.

[Patternpop]

Dear God please help them!

[mugara16]

thank you for your presentation learned something new but in my eyes all humans are cursed

[waddleduckie1]

Leprosy on the skin almost looked a bit like smallpox.

[JeziMingo33]

dude, thats deep. Glad i dont hav leprosy.

[jp5074844]

o my god. i cant watch this anymore. is shakes my soul to the core.

[ruffsocks]

y r there so many diseases in the world and not enough cures, how do these diseases come about?

[ESSAIRYD3R]

i hope for the best for all these people, its so unfortunate they have to live like this

[rekjected]

So what happen to the last 2 min of the video?

[standforchange08]

Thats strange, I thought that was the flesh eating bacteria.

[Akly9]

aww poor ppl i wish leprosy was never made

[marvelmax03191]

I was under the impression that we did not have leprosy in the United States, at least not as many ans the guy in the video said.

[elit3darkness]

Lepers used to be forced to carry clappers and bells so you could hear em coming and avoid them Ironic considering Leprosy or Mycobacterium Leprae if ya wanna get scientific is the least contagious of all communicable diseases theres some food for thought eh kids

[Osiris918]

not just lepers, it was more of a social class for Hinduism called the Untouchbles, it wasn't jus lepers it was any1 in that class, and they couldnt change their class until their next life (reincarnation), they believe in Karma.

[somrsdepp]

omg that is so sad i might cry :**(

[FireCrotchTheClown]

u did great work on this video, i hope more people view this

[sonia989]

that was a really well made, informative video.

[katarole]

wow... i feel incredibly blessed to live in a country where the risk is not high. i feel for these people... it must be hard.

[mrhrt]

Let me break down for the insulter and the other people who didn't get what I meant. It was an "excellent" film bringing much needed attention and understanding to leprosy and the fact that it's a global condition, which may raise more funding to help those suffering from it and take away some of the stigma.

[Basemanden]

ooooh thats so sad to see....

[mrhrt]

Excellent!

[tresorsky]

what is excellent about that.

[az39wd]

you are so mean
