The guy may be aware of the risk, but he may also be aware of how minute the risk is.
"leprosy is highly treatable and 95% of the population may be completely unsusceptible to the disease, it still poses a risk for many in the united states."

I just read that online too. I did not know that fact about armadillo's and leprosy either. Unless a person has read it before one would have to have a good knowledge of wildlife, I don't. Of course normal caution needs to be applied when dealing with any.
