My skin test swelled up like a mother of a mosquito bite, but the x-ray was okay and they cleared me to work.
Still, is there anything I should be watching out for or doing? Is there a chance I could put other people at risk? How likely is it that it will turn into the harmful form of TB?

The skin test means you have been exposed, not that you are infected.
It is unlikely that you are contageous unless you have an active case.
Just get checked regularly.

i've had TB before. i had to take 9 month medication. try not sharing anything with anyone that includes exchanging saliva with someone (drinks, kissing, etc). they will get TB.
