This is an informal update of the situation with TB - resistant strain - which is supposed to have started spreading on SKID ROW in Downtown LA and from which about 80 people have already died.
Los Angeles Public Libraries are posting information on bulletin boards suggesting that TB tests be taken by all HOMELESS and implied, if you've been using libraries then you are exposed to homeless people, so take the test.
That's true.
It's true of many gyms, parks, rec centers, riding the bus or subways, being in classrooms in local colleges. But like getting pregnant, you can get TB from ONE CONTACT. Certain lifestyles expose you more, but you don't have to be in that lifestyle to get it.
It actually doesn't take a whole lot to be exposed to TB. Read around the news and you'll see that some say illegals are bringing it. Some are saying it's all of INDIA...
WE THINK GET THAT TB TEST ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO A SHELTER.
