Tuberculosis in Africa
Tuberculosis in Africa is second only to HIV/AIDS as a cause of illness and death of adults.
- Tuberculosis is a bacterial disease that most commonly affects the lungs.
- Tuberculosis is spread from person to person via droplets in the air from coughing or sneezing. On rare occasions, it is spread via contaminated milk in the tropics.
- TB can only be caught from someone who already has the disease.
- For those hunting in high-risk areas, such as Africa proof of immunity is recommended.
- It is essential for all hunters to have a test and the subsequent vaccination if required.
The darker the colour, the more prevalent the disease
