I was reading on TB, tests are read by stereotype as well as just mm. I cant find the papers so I'll have to get back to you on what those other factors were. Something to do with if you have cancer in your lineage.

They never do any research it seems on WHERE people get TB. Its always, oh you have it, heres some medicines, hope you dont mind being x-rayed every year. I watched Verminators for a while. Did you know that PIGEONS are carriers of the illness and breathing in or coming into contact with just their nasty feces can infect one. Now, I did read up that its not nearly as easy to get it from the birds but its possible it seems.

Since I have no answer as to where I got it, I'd like to blame the pigeon. Does anyone know for sure how/where they got it????
