👉 A leperdom is a period of severe illness and disability caused by a disease, often in an area with low health care or sanitation. It's common to see people suffering from leprosy in countries where there are few healthcare facilities, sanitation systems poor, and limited access to medical treatment. The term "leper" refers to the person who is said to be infected with the leprosy. The disease itself can cause a severe physical, emotional, and psychological burden on those affected.
