Leprosy

Leprosy is an unlockable passive item added in Booster Pack #2.

Effects

 * Upon taking damage, Isaac gains a body part as an orbital, which blocks enemy shots and deals 7 damage per tick to enemies it comes in contact with.
 * A maximum of three body parts can be active at once.
 * The body parts will be destroyed if they take enough damage from enemies or enemy shots.
 * The body parts persist between floors.
 * Body parts orbit on the same layer as Blue Flies and Locusts do.

Synergies:

 * : Orbitals are bigger and deal double damage.
 * : Orbitals will not move.
 * : Allows Isaac to spawn orbitals without reducing health.
 * : Creates a moving electric barrier around Isaac.

Trivia

 * Leprosy is based on this Steam Workshop item by Extreme Ninja Home Makeover.
 * Originally, this item added a chance to shoot limbs instead of tears which increased Isaac's movement speed.
 * The pickup quote is a reference to Rebel Without a Cause' well known line “You’re tearing me apart!”.
 * It could also be argued that the quote is referencing The Room's infamous line "You are tearing me apart Lisa!"
 * The item is a reference to the disease leprosy; one of its notable symptoms is the loss of extremities.
 * The item used to be misspelled Leprocy, but was corrected in a later patch.
 * Its appearance is changed slightly for The Forgotten due to his lack of skin, making him look like Melting from the game Nuclear Throne.
