Worried families are demanding more information after letters were sent home to parents saying two students at Indian Hills Elementary in Jurupa Valley “might” be sick with leprosy, CBS Los Angeles reports. School officials say the letter was sent Friday out of what they called an abundance of caution. Some parents refused to send their children to school Tuesday after receiving the warning from the Jurupa Unified School District. It was unclear whether the two students are related to each other. Barbara Cole, the director of disease control for Riverside County, where the school is located, said a school nurse notified the health department of the possible cases on Friday, but it could take weeks to get tests results back to confirm whether the children indeed have leprosy. “We have not identified any risk at the school and it’s very difficult to transmit to others,” said Cole.

Do the kids have immune diseases? Are they immigrants? I would take my kids out of that school if I was a parent, despite knowing that leprosy is curable with an antibiotic.

Three guesses how - and the first two don't count! In any event, I discovered that leprosy is not a skin disease but a nervous system disease. The reason for the sores and all of that is because the bacteria effects the sensory endings of the nerves, resulting in the person not feeling anything - not even a cut or a burning hot object.
