Nurse, especially ER, clinic and OR nurse, should definitely read this article!

It is a matter of life and death should you be exposed! Not being dramatic here. I'm from the US/Mexico border and I'm used to being among the first to hear this type of news. This was not our border but is imported!


PLEASE READ! This would affect not only you but your family!

So far it looks like it. Time to start up the TB villages again.

And thanks to lunarcaustic for posting this same article a day earlier. I posted it without knowing that.
