The number of active TB cases in the eight county Idaho public health district that includes Twin Falls jumped 500 percent between 2011 and 2012.
One case of active TB was diagnosed in the South Central Public Health District that includes Twin Falls in 2011, and six active TB cases were diagnosed there in 2012, the year Chobani opened the world’s largest yogurt factory in the small southern Idaho city with the help of $54 million in federal, state, and local financial assistance.
That same year, 2012, the percentage of active TB cases in Idaho that were foreign-born spiked to 80 percent, or 12 out of 15, up from 50 percent in 2011, or 6 out of 12. As Breitbart News reported previously, the percentage of active TB cases in the country that are foreign-born is 66 percent.
Only six percent of Idaho’s population is foreign-born. Thirteen percent of the U.S. population is foreign-born.
...
In Nebraska, another largely rural state, where six percent of the population is foreign born, 82 percent of active TB cases diagnosed in 2014 were foreign-born. Those 2014 cases in Nebraska represented an 80 percent spike in active TB cases statewide compared to 2013. All of the increase driven came from foreign-born cases of TB. ...
Like Nebraska, Idaho has seen an increase in its foreign-born population recently, from legal and illegal Mexican immigrants, and refugees brought in to the state under the federal refugee resettlement program.
...
Breitbart News has found no evidence that local media outlets in the area – the Twin Falls Times-News, KMVT television, or the Idaho Statesman – were aware of or reported on the significant increase in active TB cases diagnosed in the Twin Falls area between 2012 and 2014.

As soon as my household found out about Chobani, it was forbidden for purchase.
Same here. Told the missus to buy something else.
Import illegals to work in plants in low-tax states, and the state gets to pay increased cost for TB and other disease outbreaks, as well as an increase in crime. Truly a lose/lose situation for taxpayers in rural America.

When you import people from cultures that see nothing wrong with defecating in public and don’t know about the advantages of washing their hands, expect exciting new diseases. Enjoy your yogart.
Chobani Yogurt is owned by a muzzard.
It has been Noosa ever since Yoplait decided 25% less sugar was a good thing. They threw in a sugar substitute that ruined the flavor, Thank heavens we found Noosa and a new world of great flavors that we mix with Dannon non fat plain to make them not nearly so expensive.
Fortunately, I suppose, almost all of the TB cases in the US from immigrants are “plain, vanilla” TB, with no antibiotic resistance.
If you are ‘exposed’ to TB, it means you have the bacteria in your body, but it has not yet turned active. It is treated with an antibiotic for about six months. If it has turned into an active form, you take different antibiotics for about a year and a half.
The reason treatment takes so long is that, unlike other bacteria that typically reproduce about every half hour, TB only reproduces once or twice a day.
TB is one of only two common Mycobacterium that infect humans. It’s cousin is leprosy and behaves much the same way.
Antibiotic resistant TB is determined by trial and error. That is, a stain must be used in a culture to determine if the TB bacteria are dead or still alive. If the first antibiotic fails to kill them, then the TB is a Drug Resistant or DR-TB. If additional antibiotics also fail, it is a Multiple, or MDR-TB. If *most* antibiotics also fail, it is an Extensive or XDR-TB.
Only twice have Completely or CDR-TB bacteria been discovered, both times in India. Those bacteria died out with every single person exposed to it.
In practical terms, mortality for TB, with treatment, is very low. There is a higher mortality for DR-TB, much higher for MDR-TB, and approaching 50% for XDR-TB.
However, the government will officially freak out with DR-TB or better, and put you under confinement until you get better or die.
Kurdish.
Muslim ownership....and the guy is asking for more and more refugees to settle there.....so he can hire them.
Some enterprising soul needs to go get a huge order of labels printed so Chobani products can be properly (re)labeled as “Jihadi”.
It’s “truth in labeling”, after all.
