Food fallacy or not that the mixture of ginger with pork meat in cooking will cause leprosy. My elder sister always reminding me about this combination and that's according to my father a Chinese.
If true, what's the reason or the scientific explanation that it will cause leprosy.
I need more another convincing answer. To support this: 1. Molecular Genetics (A mutation in a gene can result in a severe medical condition. A protein encoded by a mutated gene may malfunction and cells that rely on the protein might therefore fail to function properly.) 2. The minimum incubation period reported is as short as a few weeks and this is based on the very occasional occurrence of leprosy among young infants.[48] The maximum incubation period reported is as long as 30 years, or over, as observed among war veterans known to have been exposed for short periods in endemic areas but otherwise living in non-endemic areas. It is generally agreed that the average incubation period is between three and five years.
