A Leper?

[Tiser, Gene M]

I believe you have discovered the terrible truth that lepidopteran studies
are considered an addictive disease, hence the name lepers for its
practitioners!  Thus, those that come down with this affliction need to be
quarantined in special leper colonies lest they infect the rest of the
population.

Of course, we could be called leperchauns (deliberate misspelling) which is
defined as a fairy who can reveal hidden treasure.  The hidden treasure, of
course, is knowledge of, and about, these delightful fellow earthlings......
