SPRINGDALE - The medical community is warning the public: a leprosy outbreak in Springdale could blossom into an epidemic, if something isn't done soon.

Doctors say at least nine cases of leprosy have been confirmed in Springdale. Local doctors say they would be shocked by even one case of leprosy in their entire career, so they say something must be done soon, in order to stop leprosy's spread.

Springdale MD Jennifer Bingham says, "my initial response was: I am shocked. I am shocked we are seeing this. It's a true reason to be very worried."

4. Yeah, and there's good ole Nancy Jenkins spewing her crap about the borders. What a RW nut case

she is. I was sitting in a coffee shop on 1/29 in Springdale, and in walks Nancy. She sets down at the table next to me where some old guy was sipping his joe and starts in attacking how we've failed to protect our borders and how Bush needs to do something immediately. I got up and left.
