 We think of the emotional distress of having to wonder if I'm going to be healed. There's no modern medicine. It's not take this antibiotic and you'll be better in a couple weeks. There's no end in sight. We're just wondering if they'll be healing. And in the meantime, you must let your hair hang loose, your clothes communicate to anyone who sees you, I'm unclean. And just for an exclamation point, if someone comes anywhere near you, you have to start screaming unclean.
