TB is an airborne bacteria that generally effects your repsiratory system by getting into your lungs. It can be fatal. It is passed around from droplets, as in someone caughs and you breath it in. The symptoms of TB are much like the flu, coughing, bloddy sputum, night sweats, weight loss and so on. A lot of people think they have the flu or tb. The most effective way to check for TB is a chest x ray. Healthcare providers are required by most state health departments to be screened for TB antibodies, to do this a small dose of TB is injected under your skin, it is then looked at 24-72 hours later, if the spot where injection took place is red, irritated, or risen the you may be a carrier for TB and a chest x ray is neccesary to rule this out, however, if you have had TB in the past and your antibodies are strong enough a positive TB screen is always a possibility. If you are infected with TB you will be hospitalized and placed in a special no pressure room that has ducts leading directly out of the hospital, visitors and care givers will be required to done personal preotective equipment to protect there mouths and nostrils since it is airborn bacteria
