Happy birthday to pharmaceutical #chemist Alice Ball (1892-1916) who developed 1st effective treatment for #leprosy. Though her life was cut tragically short, her research saved 1000s from exile & painful, ineffective lifelong treatment for leprosy, & she was a trailblazer for both women & Black scientists.
Ball studied #chemistry at UW earning a BSc & 2nd degree in pharmacy 2 years later. 🧵 -

‘When people are diagnosed with leprosy in India today, they are usually treated at a government hospital and sent home to go on with their lives. But in decades past, victims were banished to colonies. Tens of thousands of former patients, their children and grandchildren — most of whom never had leprosy — still live there. They face continued poverty and inadequate services but either don't want to leave or have nowhere else to go.’ #Leprosy #hansensdisease

#Animal #diseases leapt to #humans when we started keeping #livestock
When #huntergatherers began living close to animals, the #pathogens that cause the #plague and #leprosy got closer too.
The #genomic study identified 5,486 #DNA sequences from #bacteria, #viruses and #parasites in blood remnants from bones and teeth spanning 37,000 years. #Zoonotic pathogens were detected only in remains 6,500 years old or younger.

Sehr geil das #leftodie "Left to die" demnächst im #kulturwerk in #herford spielen werden, muss mich schonmal ein wenig einstimmen mit #death #screambloodygore #chucksuldiner #godfatherofdeathmetal
Weiss jemand ob die Band "Left to die" so wegen Chuck Schuldiners Schicksal heisst ? Er hatte ja nach der ersten Krebserkrankung eine Krankenversicherung abgeschlossen als der Krebs dann aber erneut ausbracht hat man ihm die Behandlung verweigert, weil der Krebs schon vor dem Vertragsabschluss diagnostiziert wurde, also "Left to die" ?!?! Oder nur wegen des Songs Left to die von der Platte #leprosy

My sister was among those who went on vacation to #Florida repeatedly *during* the #pandemic when it was the worst #Covid hotspot in the nation.Florida is the "Plato's Republic" of drunk driving (expanding a lesser problem to the size of a city to make it's flaws more apparent.)
The alcoholic behind the wheel always seems to emerge from a crash unscathed. It's the innocent people they run into who pay the price with their lives. 😞 #Leprosy #endemic
