#WESH #CDC #Florida
Wow Florida. Taking science back to the beginning of AD
Eh, they been there the whole time.
It's funny how the brilliant people at the CDC just figured this out. I've stayed away from armadillos for about 50 something years! But they won't tell you that illegals are bringing malaria to the US. It's not curable, so once you have it, you're a carrier!
California, too with the plague and typhoid. LOL
@@sluggy6074 They've or they have, not they my untutored, little lib.......
@@frey8725 Liar
Between this and malaria, Florida is sooo Florida right now
You make it sound like it's a huge problem. LOL Check the number of cases against the population. Also, it's always been here. It's just news now because we have more than 10 cases, this year.
We just need to trespass Bill Gates from our state and we'll be fine 😎!
😂😂😂
Ever heard of Lyme disease 🤣, illegal immigrants bring malaria to the US???
Florida is a cursed state thanks to the evil and hatred spread by Ron DeSantis. Evil, hatred, and leprosy are very contagious. Leprosy is a Biblical disease.
I let out a sigh of relief when she said leprosy can be treated.
Lol just don't go
If it is caught in time and treated with antibiotics.
They somehow forgot to mention that Leprosy is a respiratory disease, and can be prevented by wearing a mask. 😂. Wonder why they forgot? 😂
@@THREESTARCIRCLE didn’t know that
@@thequokkahaslanded321 well, you probably noticed how far covid spread. I’m not ready for another lockdown.
Grew up in Texas, never knew about anyone getting leprosy from touching them. Learn something new everyday
It's in the water.
you can't get it from touching someone with it. it's not contagious.
Leprosy is a bacteria iirc. Eww
@@Momcat2012 Lick it. See how contagious it is... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's from the armadillos saliva
Florida is practically in a Monty Python skit 😂
Florida also had Leprosy in 1988.
In all seriousness I think that it's important to remember that it is treatable with antibiotics, which is why they need to be distributed to the ill.
Rotting while they breathe ..
Florida also has leprosy WHY DONT YOU PULL THE PLUG!!!!🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
There are these quacks, diagnosing people with Parasitosis and claiming they are delusional!
That sucks armadillos are pretty chill, they'd probably let you pet them. Which might be the problem lol
Only the Nine Banded Armadillo carries Leprosy.
The other varieties do not.
It's in the water. Test the water.
@@user-qv2hh2pc9w what factual information are you basing your opinion on?
@@gertrudelaronge6864 Science.
@@user-qv2hh2pc9w Armadillos are also all over Florida. That means, so is their waste.
Science deniers... let Darwinism work.
Traveling via Pacific and Atlantic drifts... you can't hide when you drink the water. 😂
Thank you for letting us know.
DEAR LORD PLEASE HEAL AND DELIVER! SEND REVIVAL IN THE NAME OF JESUS! 🙏🏼❤️✝️
We need Jesus now more than ever to heal Florida and this nation🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen..REPENT everyone I live in Florida, and my heart sank when I read this report yesterday..So much wickedness in this state but this is for the WORLD as a whole..God's wrath is upon us...🙏🙏
@@natashaduncan2112 Calm down. It's 15 people out of 21 million and they aren't dying from it. It's treated with antibiotics.
Sheesh! Talk about panicking.....
Jesus doesn't have a medical license to practice in Florida.
"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
Matthew 12:36-37!
"Most leprosy is imported, but we do have some home-grown versions".
💪😎✌️ Stay classy, humanity.
I don't think it's Dems or Republicans or immigrants or Armadillos. It's the Transexual, Vegan Amish. I saw it on You Tube.
@@ge2623 It's the Transexual, Vegan, Amish, baby seals.
Somehow I knew it was the immigrants
@@masatosway4558 They're even worse.
What about all the Leprechauns - translation "Leper Cons"
"Got a talent for an X leper?
I was sitting here minding my own business a leper with a trait and the next minute Jesus comes along and cures me.....bloody do gooder"
- Life of Brian/Monty Python
Funny part is the pills they showed with the imprint M367 is actually generic vicodin, not an antibiotic. Lol, which ALSO makes sense for Florida
You knew that, innocent I'm sure!
@Kevin-nm8ih well...I can prescribe them...and they're the generic that the army has used for years so yea
@@Kevin-nm8ih also M357 iirc
Clindamycin... Would be my choice if I were a real doctor and not a twerking pos
Love that tidbit of info
The new weather is spawning science experiments. More viruses, and diseases to come, unfortunately. Stay safe.
Leprosy? Florida is getting all that karma! Can we just give the eulogy for Florida already? Leprosy??
California has it, too. Grow up, Nancy.
Bubonic plague soon to come. DeSatan is patient zero.
How old are you? 5?
Better than California's bubonic plague and typhoid, don't you think?
@@annabellelee4535 I completely forgot about that. LOL
Ron is going to blame it on woke culture.
After learning “most leprosy are imported”, DeSantis declared Leprosy is too woke & now glad under his leadership there’re leprosy Made in FL! 😂
So Desantis started the armadillo population in Florida? Wow, you're so smart 🤣
@@Kevin-nm8ihThe people are not getting leprosy from armadillos in Florida. Do some research. Leprosy is a Biblical disease and Ron DeSantis has caused hatred and evil to spread across the state. Florida is cursed. Get out as soon as you can. Evil and leprosy are very contagious.
Does this mean Florida is finally gonna fall off?
I couldn't help myself. 😄
Excellent!
No because God has some ppl there
😂😅😂😅😂😂😂😂😂😂
No it means Armadillos have been roaming around Florida for over 50 millions years and are not the cause of this outbreak, illegal immigrants are where the problem lies not unlike the bubonic plague and typhoid out breaks in California. Thank the dullard in the White House you voted for ..............
Like a limb infected with leprosy! 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂
Insurance companies leaving Florida and leprosy is staying. Way to go DeSantis.
DeSantis can't control mother nature kid.......
@@markhartung Yeah it's almost as if humans are dumping a huge amount of carbon, plastics, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals in the environment. Keep your head in the sand MAGA
Yes insurance and armadillos, so similar....
@@markhartung He thinks he can.
@@MsThebeMoon How so?
Ya all them mosquitoes gates released in Florida is starting to produce fruit...
Thanks for reporting
FLORIDA AND TEXAS IS AT IT AGAIN! I’m putting Texas with Florida now I knew this day would come.
There having a contest who is more 3rd world or who can bring back the dark ages.
I see, you're ignoring California and the Hawaiian Islands. You must be politically motivated.
God is punishing Republicans with leprosy just like he did in Old days.
@@supersquirrel7546 So, in California, they have leprosy (6 cases to Florida's 12), Typhoid, wild fires and the actual plague. Is God also punishing the Democrats?
Ignorant people keep commenting without thinking things through. smfh
@@supersquirrel7546 its being brought by the illegals along with TB, Monkey Pox thanks Dementia joe
Hmmm.....
Florida and Texas. Now what do those two states have in common.....? I just can't put my finger on it. 🤔🤔
Bill Gates releasing 750 million genetically modified invasive mosquitoes that carry malaria? Now leprosy? But don't worry, Bill has a new vax for those 😡 Look it up
Add in California, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, New York and Texas for top states suffering with leprosy. What do they have in common? Lots of illegal immigration.
@@annabellelee4535 Nah......
There is something SPECIFIC that is having TEXAS and FLORIDA leading the nation in these cases that were pretty much eliminated not too long ago.
It's just on the tip of my tongue. Give me a minute it will come to me eventually. 🤣🤣
Touching armadillos can spread it. TX is known for those.
open borders...they ain't sending their best
🤦♂️ why would anyone wanna live their?
Because it's paradise 😎🦈🐟🐬🌴🍹⛱️🏝🎣 🛥
I see a lot of people calling this fake do you have any proof that it is
Armadillo's ? I think I know why no one in Canada has contracted leprosy lately .🤭
Don't get too comfy. New York has it and they're right next door.
Who the heck is touching armadillos in Florida??!!
Stop playing with armadillos. 🤣😂 I was right!!!!! It is armadillos.
I’m pretty sure DeSantis would say that is not true. He should spend more time in his state
@autumnautumn5200 He's done an outstanding job of governing in Florida. He puts the lefites out to pasture. Lol
Florida is worse now. Not because of DeSantis!!!. We don't know who came in US, with what???? Where they ever ckd out good!!!!!!.More killing, shooting, people snap. Not the same as it once was. 😢 Very sad!!!
We love him, but he's dedicated to stomping on fascism in every state. God bless him!!!!!
He'd say it's beneficial like slavery and trafficking. 😅😅😅
@@LandonStrauss-hc1sc lies just make you look stupid
Welp, there goes my retirement plans.
I didn't need another reason to avoid Florida.
Right after teaching kids that trafficking and slavery are beneficial.
Everybody gangsta til Florida Man gets a metal mask and an executioner's sword.
The governor is too busy running for president to care about something like a biblical plauge or a contagion taking over.
Because it's not, Nancy. LOL 15 cases, this year does not constitute a "Biblical plague". Of course, California also has leprosy AND the bubonic plague.....
Let’s face it, DeSatanic IS a plague!
There's meds ...
Yes, well, he's going to come back and examine all armadillos and treat all the millions of sick people too, because that's his job! I called today and arranged for him to wash my car.
Ps. Armadillos carry leprosy sometimes, always have. You don't seem them unless you live in a wooded area and then choose to pick them up and get exposed.
See the real story... they'll use anything to take Desantis out...do you really want Joe? Really? I just saw a clip of him explaining how Jesus was always talking about the Revolutionary war and airplanes. I hope you are aware enough to know that the war was fought long after Jesus' era! 😎
Right after desantis disrespected our ancestors he got in a wreck and now Florida is hit with leprosy👀👀🤔
More of you have herpes than don't. Seethe.
Informative
At least Florida doesn’t have to worry about brain eating amoeba.
Sooo true!!! LOL
The amoebas would starve to death in Florida. Nothing to eat...
They'd starve 😂
@@user-qr7ee2cp4y okay! You can take the rest of the day off. That was a good comeback !👏
@@user-qr7ee2cp4ycringe
😳 Well, I'll be danged. 🤔 Yep. I had no idea #leprosy was still around. 😟
The Bible never changes. We cannot take anything away as it states, “as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be”
Added to the 36 confirmed cases of brain eating amoeba in Florida. Insects, snakes, politicians. Florida is not my idea of a great vacation destination 😂
Out of 21 million people, 36 ended up with brain-eating amoeba and 15 cases of leprosy. What percentage is that? LOL
I guess it's time to panic. Don't go to California though, they have leprosy, typhoid and the plague. If the diseases don't get you, the wildfires will.
That's just because you're arrogant and uniformed.
Coral Reefs are also dying at an increasing rate in the Keys.
@@MsThebeMoon lie
You should stay away, because if you think Florida is the only state with bugs, disease, snakes and brain infections, you're best staying in an asylum.
We had 15" of snow over a 5 month period in Pittsburgh last year. Ill take that over leprosy and malaria.
"Mainly in Texas and Florida". It figures.
Also in Hawaii, Louisiana and California.... Plus, Cali has the Bubonic Plague to go with it.
illegals are bringing it in
Illegals. We told y’all we had the most.
Antibiotics? But they showed Vicodin lol
All I can think about are the disciples yelling UNLCEAN!!! From the show the chosen when I saw this. 😂
Being woke is worse that leprosy!
- Ron DeSantis
Lol😂
Well, there's no cure for woke, so.....
Thanks Ron, you drop the ball over and over again.
Florida? No way! What should they do? Ban Armadillos Ron
It lives in the soil. Armadillos root around in the soil looking for insects. You can catch it from gardening
@@TKKrueger-py5jb IN FLORIDA
It lives in the soil on most continents
@@TKKrueger-py5jb In FLORIDA of the Continental North America
Bus them to NYC too.
Uh,the Bible describes leprosy as something else.
Numbers 12:10-11
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
Mosey, got any Band-Aids ?
Tzaraath (Hebrew צָרַעַת ṣāraʿaṯ), variously transcribed into English and frequently mistranslated as leprosy.
Ukrainian-Jewish born Yehuda L. Katzenelson, (1846-1917) devoted a portion of his work on talmudic medicine to the analysis of the parallels between vitiligo and biblical tzaraath, he concluded that the chazalic consensus was that they are synonymous.
Russian pathologist Gregory Minh discovered that leprosy is contagious; assuming that biblical tzaraat is non-contagious, he therefore concluded that tzaraath is in fact vitiligo. Similarly, Reuven Kalisher suggested that vitiligo is the most likely candidate for biblical tzaraath, as it is non-contagious, cause the hair located within the discolored area to turn white.
⚠️Public Service Announcement
Please do not confuse lepers with zombies.⚠️
Nor Floridians with zombies……Zombies are much cleaner.
Except in Florida. It's ok to confuse lepers with zombies and even Republicans. We all know God hates these 3 equally.
Russian Zombies crokodile
Lol! God’s wrath amirite? 😂
"Imported," yeah.
In the water from Asia.. 😂😂😂via Atlantic and Pacific drifts... 😂 whole world is F'ed with diseases.. peasants
If you people just ignore it, it will disappear like a miracle. 😂
Like California's bubonic plague or typhoid or typhus or trench fever?
Actually yes, in the Bible leprosy was treated by washing yourself and waiting 7 days. Then it'll get inspected after 7 days, if it was still active you waited another 7 days.... And when it appeared dry and white you would be declared "clean"
This is literally how the Israelites were instructed to treat it 3,500 years ago. Cleanse yourself, clothes, and house and wait for it to go away
It really has nothing to do with politics, I'm not sure why people turn this into political issue
Fentanyl can also cause leprosy
That’s a fentasy right there
Whats next. Mighty Elohim, Yahweh. See us through.
Nice work, DeSaster. Continue driving Florida into the Dark Ages.
ok groomer
Best name to describe that train wreck of a so-called governor.
It's DeSatan. Get it right and we've always had leprosy. It just broke 15 cases this year, so it's news. There was also a report about California's cases rising, but they aren't releasing the numbers.
Lol meat ball ron was my favorite name for ol ronny but now ima call him Desaster😂
@@mrfroghello That is actually pretty good. LOL
Ron's Florida
The United Stated of Florida freedom alive and well
I am glad to hear that.
That is not what leprosy is according to the bible. Book of Lemech released from vatican 2019.
"Have vengeance visited upon their head sevenfold. ³As Abel's blood cried from the ground same leprous whiteness was made a sign that was visited upon all of Cain's descendants as it was their inheritance for seven generations. ⁴With this marked inheritance, Cain's descendants sought to do all that was wicked on the land in the sight of the Lord, for they had been marked by Him. For the descendants of Cain had received unto themselves the damnation which was the fair portion for Cain's sin. ⁵And God refused to be angered by Cain's wickedness for Cain was not forgiven.
No surprise.. it's Florida and Texas after all...
Yes, the heat causes that, so you're right 👍
FAKE!! Stop trying to scare people!
But is it still contagious?
I had a pet rat. Sweetest little critter I ever had. I never got sick. We shared scrambled eggs for breakfast everyday.
Make sense

What!? 😳
Good times
Despite the cure being seemingly easy to get, some people won’t seek treatment due to not trusting the science
Easy? It's 2 years of constant antibiotics.
let's give a big thank you to all the rich antivax and antimask conspiracy theorists and their little followers... smh
@leeham6230 they said SEEMINGLY easy TO GET. not that the treatment itself is easy. antibiotics are super common
Armadillo contact?
No, drinking the water.
It takes a lot of prolonged contact to get it.
Let those that are filthy be filty still! ( COME CLEAN) REPENT!
The new cronenberg movie looks good
Wrap that antibiotic in a slice of cheese!
If it that bad in Florida they need to shut it down tell Lepersy is controled. I mean we just got over Covid 19 we dont need this
Really Florida ?!
Yes, Florida and Texas have joined California, New York, and Louisiana with a problem with leprosy.
And this has _absolutely nothing_ to do with illegal immigration. Keep 'em coming.
What’s next? Syphilis and TB have already made a comeback. What’s next, the bubonic plague
How, why is this here now? Exactly where????
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
People still believing ANYTHING they say at this point?
Those with "fair skin" better beware 🤣😂😭 SMH
Who ever thought that millions of illegal flooding our country from over 100 countries would turn out bad?
That's what the American Indian said about the Pale Face man.
Don't Boo Vote Blue 😃
These illegals aren't nearly as destructive or disease ridden as europeans
"Our country?" I'm betting a Native American would take issue with that statement.
@@itiiytHumans aren't Native.
“Imported”. Key word
From florida.
Illegal aliens
It can start from within the body! Please stop those doctors from immediately sending their patients to psychiatry!
I volunteer to hunt them in Florida. Just like Texans trying to eradicate feral hogs. My fee is $100 per shell ( not for the shotgun, but for the critter armor shells).
Stop taking transfusions with armadillo blood
Try that in a small town ? You can get leporsy in a small town.
Never seen armadillos in Florida. Hmmmm
They eat iguanas in Florida who knows ?
@@jackmac66 I didn’t know that either but I think that is dangerous because of a certain bacteria. 🦠
It probably came from Texas
@@BIKENESSTraveling via Pacific and Atlantic drifts... you can't hide when you drink the water. 😂
Similar region climate wise. Gators like TX too
Don't confuse Armodilos with Ant Eaters. Ant Eaters are the good guys , and they eat Fire Ants.😮
In Florida they don't believe in science 😂
Florida!
Did they have armadillos in the Bible?
Yep, and Komota Dragons too.
Chuck schuldiner did it
Gates' mosquitos???
well what you think would happen with all these illegals coming to America. THX JOEY!!!
Whelp, all reasons I stay up north in safeville!
so where are all these people having physical contact with armadillos???
So is ignorance 👀
