Dear friends,
I have been asking many questions of the doctors on tuberculosis. There seems to be a paranoid fear about TB in this country, particularly on the TB that may be spat on the road. The TB bacillus is not as tough as we think. It will die out in the open. It will not drill through the feet from a betel nut spit on the road. It will not form a spore and float in the dust.
For those sufferers with TB outside the lungs, it is difficult to infect another person. But it can still happen through contact with sputum, infected drinks and food. More details later. Tuberculosis is now part of the AIDS Holistics message.
I have just been for a review to be told that tuberculosis medicine can damage the liver. I have to watch for pain in the liver and whites of eyes going yellow. I stop treatment immediately.
