How do people get leprosy from armadillos is being around a dead armadillo with its body opened make the possibility of contagion through airborne means?

Leprosy, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium leprae, can be transmitted to humans primarily through direct contact with infected armadillos, particularly their bodily fluids or tissues. While it is possible to contract the disease from handling dead armadillos, the risk of airborne transmission is minimal. The bacterium does not spread easily and is not known to be airborne; instead, it requires close contact. Therefore, being near a dead armadillo does not significantly increase the chances of airborne contagion.
