>>13003184Both leprosy and tuberculosis(both mycobacteria) are very hard to treat because the bacteria in question are hard cunts with an unusual cell wall, which makes them insensitive to normie antibiotics and requires nuking with very specific drugs for months-long courses(which also fucks your liver), and any deviation from the treatment or your immune system getting fucked for unrelated reasons will render it(the treatment) ineffective
The good news is that them being such hard cunts also makes them slow to replicate and not very virulent, so your immune system can easily keep them in check and lots of people carry dormant TB(unless, again, your immune system gets fucked for unrelated reasons; in which case rip)
