How do you know if you have TB?
I'm not a doctor but a friend of mine got it in India. First, it's hard to get, the mechanism for TB to enter your body requires you to inhale a certain sized particle of the virus directly into your lungs, either by breathing in particles from a cough or sneeze of an actively infected person, or by sniffing cheap drugs in dirty countries. That said, TB is HIGHLY contagious when you have an ACTIVE TB infection. TB stays dormant then manifests itself. Active TB is ugly, wheezing bloody cough. Unless you know someone with TB that you've been exposed to recently, i wouldn't worry too much. If you still think you got the consumption. go to your doctor and ask for a PPD test, they inject some stuff under your skin, if you have TB antibodies they attack the stuff and give you a rash, if you wake up the next day and there's no bump, you're good to go. A positive PPD mayjust mean you have been exposed and developed anti-bodies. Then you need a chest x-ray. If you have dornant TB, you can be started on Isoniazid orally, but you must take it for the rest of you life.
