Today I'm going to be talking about leprosy history, and what this condition really is.

Leprosy or Hansen's disease is a bacterial infection that grows very slowly. In fact it could take 2 to 10 years before any symptoms even develop.

Can you guess why this disease is called Hansen's disease? A Dr. from Norway called Armeuer Hansen was the first to see the germ under the microscope. This was a huge finding because prior to this many people felt that this ailment was caused from angry gods, it was hereditary or some other strange reason.
