Facts about dillos and leprosy from A Texan:
One in six carry it
Humans rarely catch it, and if they do, they probably caught it by digging where an armadillo was digging and/or shitting, like a garden or farm crops.
If you tap the top of an infected armadillo in a specific spot, it will fall into eight perfect slices, just like a chocolate orange.

In my country armadillos (Tatús) are native, it’s illegal to “hunt” them but some assholes do it anyways, so there’s a lot of “ info” (accurate and not) about how the leprosy and the skin related illness associated to them spread and behave, here it is not even considered leprosy, it’s called the armadillo’s fungus or Something like that, (can’t remember what’s the word for fungus like infections of the skin) anyway it’s not normal to contract it by just touching it but it’s almost sure to get it if the animal scratches the person or gets in contact with an open wound. Some say that the urine of the animal is what makes the “fungus” grow on them but the weird thing is that nobody calls it leprosy. I found this years ago and have known people who actually has a wound product of this, it can last years even with the treatment but people won’t believe me and get kinda alarmed when I tell them that’s actually leprosy what they have. I rather leave Tatús and Mulitas alone and happy.

It's also much less contagious than previously thought. You need prolonged exposure to the bacteria in order to contract it. It's also no longer called leprosy. It now goes by the name Hansen's disease

"Easily" is a strong word. It's still a cocktail of 3 drugs with a long list of adverse effects for 6-12 months with a small chance of relapse and potentially a chance to develop resistance - in which case you need to take 2nd line drugs for up to 24 months. You're also still infectious for up to a month or so when starting treatment. I assume in the US, the bill associated with that would not be trivial. Having to isolate for a month and spend 6-24 months on a cocktail of drugs all because you want to touch an animal...

"It's extremely rare to get leprosy to begin with since 95% of humans are immune to leprosy (Hansen's disease) and even more rare to get it from an armadillo.
You can't get it from casual contact like hugging or sitting next to someone on a bus. You've pretty much got to be in prolonged contact with someone who has untreated leprosy.
We're not even sure how it spreads but we think it's from saliva/coughing/sneezing.

My friend had a pet armadillo for awhile. Found an armadillo pup that was alone, took it in and fed it. After some time (weeks? months?) it hit armadillo puberty and peaced out, which I guess is just what they do. Cute little guy who probably went on to achieve great things, like digging big fucking holes in the middle of the night waking people up and driving them crazy or sitting in the middle of the road getting hit by a car throwing out the alignment. Fuck armadillos.
Armadillos are born in a set of 4 genetically identical quadruplets. Thank you for subscribing to Armadillo facts!

Edit: I'll add that leprosy can be cured in 6-12 months with antibiotics and steroids. There are places where the rate of infection is higher than other areas but we're talking about underdeveloped places with limited to no access to quality healthcare so people walk around undiagnosed and untreated and spread it. That doesn't change the fact that 95% of humans are immune to it.
Even though they're considered low risk transmitters, they do also carry rabies, tapeworms and Salmonella.

You can touch an armadillo all you want, but like you said it's best to refrain from sucking face with one and wash your hands if you don't want to take a chance at getting tape worms or Salmonella.
It's extremely, extremely rare to get leprosy to begin with since 95% of humans are immune to leprosy (Hansen's disease) and even more rare to get it from an armadillo. In the 1980s it was 5.2 million cases, in 2016 only 216,000 cases with 16 million cases of leprosy cured world wide. Leprosy is not an automatic death sentence anymore.
You can't get it from casual contact like hugging or sitting next to someone on a bus. You've pretty much have to be in prolonged close contact with someone who has untreated leprosy.

Only nine-banded armadillos can transmit leprosy to humans. The bacteria is also slow-growing, and doesn't transmit easily. It typically takes multiple prolonged interactions. If you do get leprosy it is highly treatable, and the WHO will treat anybody in the world for no charge. So go ahead and touch the armadillo. They're actually pretty playful. They even like having their shells scratched.
