By now you've probably all heard about the once curable disease of TB. Also known as Tuberculosis. I like to call it "The Boogeyman". It sneaks up on you when least expected, unseen, and unheard except for the occasional hack. Recently a man from Atlanta knowingly chose to put several planes full of people at risk when he and The Boogeyman decided to fly. The potential for TB to spread is far greater in the confines of a plane. This new drug resistant TB means you can't shake it...so how long till The Boogeyman gets you?

Well I would like to think that it will never get me. Naive, perhaps, but positive thinking is part of it. No one is safe from many diseases, but perhaps they will find a cure for this soon. Well, hopefully at least.

we all know that the tb bacteria is floating in the air. so if we think that staying away from people infected with it, makes us free from it, is wrong. we have to have a healthy lifestyle, and observe a healthy diet plus enough sleep all days of our lives. if we are strong and healthy, tb will not find its way in us. i contacted tb myself when i got so very engrossed about keeping care of my sick son plus having to work yet to meet the financial needs of the family. i had to leave work and find another source of income which will not be so stressful. i recovered and is well again.
