So why is Central Florida getting hit with endemic leprosy cases that appear not to arise from common risk factors? The CDC report lays down a few tantalizing bread crumbs: the Florida man worked outside as a landscaper, and "coupled with the high proportion of residents, like our patient, who spend a great deal of time outdoors," these cases of leprosy may be arising from "environmental reservoirs as a potential source of transmission."
This jives with past scientific research that leprosy can be found in soil, water and vegetation.
But could also climate change be behind this rash of leprosy cases in Florida, like how anthrax and thawing permafrost in Siberia are possibly linked?
Earlier this year, an Insider article pointed out the rise of infectious diseases around the world due to rising temperatures and highlighted a provocative 1995 study in Malawi that showed higher rainfall and hence overall proximity to bodies of water like rivers were connected with increased cases of leprosy.
