My grandfather died of TB , never met him only in his 30s, in his prime , a marine engineer . Died in one of them sanitariums where they had them in beds outside for fresh air.TB is getting much worse here in Wales to the point it's getting out of hand so it wouldn't surprise me if guth was right about the raw milk story they seem pretty desperate to stop it but won't actually do anything worthwhile about it. Just more and more testing. I know someone who had to test his wife's pet goat recently.
We've gone to 6 month testing now. Getting closer all the time and all they do is test more. Nothing is actually being done to stop it apart from more testing.
My dad says his grandparents could name several families who had lost people, mainly children, to TB. Including one family who lost all 8 kids after their parents bought a house cow who was infected with TB. People who are f**king about wanting more testing but not actually doing anything to help would do well to hear some of those stories.
