I had to use this shot of Ally. A few minutes before I got this shot she was chasing that damn wabbit and as usual it won. Oh well, at least she had fun.

It's that time again folks, school will or already has started and soon many will be battling the flu or some other kind of cold.
What I worry most about is tuberculosis. Many of the migrants we get here, both legal and illegal, come from countries that still has problems with this terrible disease which hopefully most of us will never have to face. But when I looked up what the symptoms were I was shocked.
The good news is that it can be prevented even if you are around someone who has it but still, do you have any idea what you should look for in case you have it?
I've added a link in case, like me, you had no idea.
Did you know you could have tuberculosis (TB) and not know it? Learn the symptoms that let you know you have this serious – but treatable – condition.

I had never thought about migrants not receiving TB shots. The doctor just adjusted the kids prescription for their inhalers. They have more problems with their allergies in the fall.

@rebelann No, I have never thought of that for just every day use. I might give it a try when the fall weeds begin to bud.

Maybe the legal migrants do but the illegal ones don't because no one knows they're here and lots of those illegals are from places like Nicaragua and such.
