Wednesday Outside Reading Blog #9

I read this article in a magazine called Living With Leprosy by Alex Tresniowski. Wendy Grossman. Which I found in People Magazine that really caught my attention so i decided to read it and it was really interesting. Well first of all it was obviously about a girl living with the rare disease, Leprosy. Her name is BB Blanchard who is a High School sophomore that battled the ancient yet rare disease and its stigma. At first she just though it was a catapillar bite but then it turned into a rash that spread all over her foot. So her mom later told her that she might have leprosy and when she found out it was true she started to cry. Alot of people were astonished to know that the disease is still alive.In Fact it is not what people used to think like its not contagious and it does not lead to the loss of fingers and limbs. It's hust a skin infection with a terrifying name. So, the High School teen tries to deal with it and live a regular life.
