With active Lyme and Babesia, currently being treated. i am worried that my immune system is over-taxed already, but the annual TB screen is mandatory for my job. Thanks.

HI, I used to get the annual TB tests. But I'm not anymore, I figure with an immunocompromised system, my body doesn't need any extra pollutants.
There is a blood tests called Quantaferon or something like that. Stanford Hospital now tests ALL of their employees using it, so if your workplace says no, they can call Stanford and it's gotta be very accurate if a large hospital is doing it.
I belong to a no vax mom's group (where I learned about this new testing method), and if you need I can find info about it for you.
Take care and don't allow anyone to put anything into your body that you aren't comfortable with!

My daughter had a TB test before she was diagnosed.
She was getting very ill at the time.
She had an IMMEDIATE reaction. It raised right away.
A specialist (he was wrong about everything else) said that it was an allergic reaction and not a positive.
This proved to be due to the autoimmune response of her ailing health and the bacteria causes the body to produce histimines. She looked like an allergic puff.
