Answer 1

A TB skin test is no big deal. I've had it done dozens of times. I put a link at the bottom that describes a TB skin test. Basically they inject a small amount of fluid just under the skin on your arm. Then, several days later, you return and the measure the width of the injection sight (might not be visible any longer). If it bubbles up like a blister, that is a positive result but the test has a high % of false negatives. For the 5-10% of the false negatives, they will then pay to have an x-ray done. The x-ray would detect an active case of TB. A TB skin test is just a very cheap way to test every person.

Here is a definetion of TB:

What is TB?

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs. But, TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal. TB disease was once the leading cause of death in the United States.

TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The bacteria are put into the air when a person with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs or sneezes. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.

However, not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick. People who are not sick have what is called latent TB infection. People who have latent TB infection do not feel sick, do not have any symptoms, and cannot spread TB to others. But, some people with latent TB infection go on to get TB disease.

People with active TB disease can be treated and cured if they seek medical help. Even better, people with latent TB infection can take medicine so that they will not develop active TB disease.

Below is a web link that discusses the TB skin test (Shot as you put it).
