Issues to Hide

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

3 And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

Leviticus 12:1-3

Besides washing and cleaning and cooking the food, it seems whatever holds the blood is also considered infected. Perhaps not as of just yet but when it comes into contact with earth though, it certainly will. The virus especially loves to feast on the blood that has flowed. As a result, you'll have to be careful with bleeding issues within. Those that are at risk include the woman that has borne a child and still has blood coming forth from the womb. The child also is considered contaminated of sorts until seven days from it's birth. That's because the mother's blood has come into contact with the child on it's way out. Others at risk include the woman during her monthly cycle as well as those that have been injured. Ideally dressings and other types of supplies that are clean ought to keep the virus at bay. Perhaps it's not even a virus at this point but rather it's own living organism from which the life then is formed. If you recall before, there's a verse in the text that speaks of the life of the body being found in the blood. To organisms like leprosy and whatever's behind it, this would be pretty appealing indeed since life is what it consumes. In return, I suppose it gives of it's own as well as seeks to take on new form. That's why the leprosy and whatever organisms engendered always result in changing the people. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the original sort of conditions or the way these had once been. Having seen that, let's examine the illness again.

Case 8

38 If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.

Symptoms: bright red spots, bright white spots

Diagnosis: leprosy is only present if the spot isn't a darker lighter color than the skin in which case a freckle is formed

Differential:

40 And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.

Symptoms: hair loss from the head to the beard uniform in pattern or in whole

Diagnosis: if the hair loss is the only symptom there is, then leprosy almost certainly isn't the case. It's just a hair loss to be sure

Differential:

42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh; he is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

Symptoms: white or red sores along with the baldness
