     I am currently reading the Thomas Covanent the Unbeliever trilogy
and although at times it reads distinctly Tolkien-ish it is a very
absorbing fantasy.  Not giving away too much about the plot: the
character of T. Covanent is a leper.
     My question to those knowlegable people out there who have
read the books; are Donaldson's facts about leprosy straight (meaning
accurate?)  I've asked people about whether when treated is it
still contageous or not.  Their answer is no; treatment causes the
leprosy to become "dry" leprosy.  Is this so?
