        Only because rich countries don’t provide poor countries with antibiotics needed to fight it.

        TB is a bacterial infection. It is easily diagnosed and treated with even substandard attention from a doctor.

        The fact that it’s spreading so rapidly in America is highly concerning not because TB is super infectious, but because it’s so easy to treat and prevent.

          Antibiotics are becoming less and less effective and drug-resistant TB already exists.
