You shouldn’t be taking the tine test.

You will always test positive and you could get a bad reaction.

But if you’ve lived this long with no bad reaction you’re probably going to live forever!

Seriously, check with a good physician about taking that test again.

.

I only have taken the tine test once,about 17 years ago.

I was still working and someone in our building contracted TB so we were all tested,

When I did the follow up visit to the MD she told me not to bother with it again,as you suggested.

Fortunately I never had a reaction.

In my earlier post I neglected to mention that my brother and I had to have annual chest X-rays until we were 18. That was 13 years for me and 15 for him.

I still remember what that clinic looked like and we both were negative every time,thank God.
