Until you find out armadillos carry leprosy, funny story actually when I worked at a zoo we where going through animal handling training and our armadillo was going to become an ambassador animal so myself and around ten others went to it's exhibit and where trained on how to catch the armadillo and hold it, a week later after all of us had caught and held said armadillo we where informed that he was removed from the ambassador animal program due to them being able to carry leprosy, I did a little research and found out it takes around five to six years for the symptoms to show up, it's been seven years and I'm all good so perhaps he didn't carry it we may never know.

I imagine in a controlled environment the chances of them carrying something like that is much lower than in the wild haha. I've seen people with pet or rehab armadillos that do just fine
