Welcome to The Leper Colony!
If you have found your way here, you need no explanation.
Why this site exists...
A leper colony or leprosarium is a place to quarantine people with leprosy from the rest of the population. Historically, leprosy was greatly feared because it caused visible disfigurement and disability, was incurable, and was commonly believed to be highly contagious. In many societies, people with the disease were shunned or forced to leave the community, and the leper colony was a refuge.
Leprosy still exists today, and in many different forms.
