Leprosy Resurfaces in Ohio | Cincinnati News

Ohio’s seen two leprosy cases this year — a rare but real disease making headlines. Both cases in Hamilton and Summit counties, and while most Americans are naturally immune, the illness is curable with antibiotics in 6 months to 2 years — if caught early. Scientists are still studying how it spreads, but armadillos may be a key link. This is a wake-up call: even rare diseases can appear, but modern medicine offers clear treatment — stay informed and protect your community.
