TB test and the pool?

[Ksandra]

Forgot to ask the doctor yesterday. I got a tb shot yesterday and go back in tomorrow to see if it comes out negative. I'd really like to go down to the pool today if I can (it's fucking hot) but I don't know if the chlorine could create a false positive or irritate it or something. I know we have some nurses on the forums, so figured I'd ask here. Only thing I see on the interwebs is stupid chacha answers.

why the fuck you need tb test then lol. stop associating with the browns and enjoy your privilege.

People in some healthcare fields (or who ever go near a monkey colony) have to maintain a history of negative TB tests.

Employers require you to have TB tests. I have to have 4 a year (two every 6 months).

The entire production floor on my shift including me had to get one. One of my leads came back from Laos and had it and didn't know.

I tested positive and found out I got the dormant TB. Had no idea.

Fuck Iraq/Afghanistan is what I'm saying.

I have to get tested twice a year as we have 6 elephants that have been exposed to TB and 2 that are actively shedding the disease. I don't work with those elephants, they're in a separate quarantine area, but I still get tested because TB can be transferred between humans and elephants and we don't want our healthy girls getting exposed to it. I was exposed in Iraq as well so I'll always show positive, but I have chest x-rays done once a year now to be sure it hasn't snuck up on me. (although the drugs I took when I tested positive killed that strain, if I get infected by a new strain I'll never know until it attacks me outright, hence the chest x-rays)

It'd be pretty awesome if noble worked in a circus.
