I remember watching a documentary about a Greek town where they would send people with Leprosy. Why was leprosy such a big deal if 95% of people are immune to it?

Leprosy is nasty. It comes up all throughout history, but I’m not sure why it isn’t around today.

The long and short of the disease is that it is highly contagious and causes people to essentially rot while alive. Like being a zombie, but without loosing all of your mental facilities or brain eating of course.
