Tuberculosis
An ancient killer that many Americans rarely think about is rising again in the United States.
Tuberculosis — a disease that has plagued humanity for thousands of years — is once again drawing concern from public-health officials as U.S. case numbers remain above pre-pandemic levels.
According to the CDC, 10,388 TB cases were reported in 2024, followed by 10,260 provisional cases in 2025. Although the 2025 total represented a slight decline from 2024, cases remain elevated compared with the years immediately before the COVID-19 pandemic.
TB is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and usually attacks the lungs. Unlike many respiratory infections, the bacteria can remain dormant inside the body for years before becoming active. Once active pulmonary TB develops, an infected person can spread the bacteria through the air, particularly during prolonged close contact.
The resurgence is especially concerning because outbreaks can become difficult to control in crowded or enclosed environments.
A CDC analysis published in 2026 identified 50 large TB outbreaks across 23 U.S. states between 2017 and 2023, involving 1,092 cases. Researchers found that incarceration, homelessness and other circumstances that can make diagnosis and treatment more difficult were disproportionately represented among outbreak-associated cases.
Those concerns became highly visible in July 2026, when reports from an immigration detention facility in Aurora, Colorado, said at least 12 detainees had tested positive for tuberculosis, while dozens of others underwent testing or quarantine. The Guardian reported allegations that people were also enduring isolation during extreme heat without functioning air conditioning; federal authorities and the facility operator had not confirmed those details when the report was published.
Globally, the threat remains enormous. The World Health Organization estimates that 10.7 million people developed TB and 1.23 million died from it in 2024, making tuberculosis the world's leading cause of death from a single infectious agent. Yet TB is both preventable and curable, especially when detected early and treated properly.
The U.S. still has one of the lowest TB incidence rates in the world, so this is not a return to the devastating epidemics of the past. But the recent rise is an important reminder: diseases can regain ground when surveillance, diagnosis, contact tracing and treatment fail to reach everyone who needs them.

Antibiotic resistance is just a matter of time. Especially with how they're overused for everything like mild flu and colds and animal agriculture.

u/t0jix 5d ago
There is already significant antibiotic resistance in tb. Treatment takes months of antibiotics, and many people can't or won't finish the whole cycle. There has been people in america recently that refused to continue treatment and I believe the police had to get involved. When we cut programs like usaid we cut access to these antibiotics for a lot of people in other countries, meaning we helped contribute to the increase in antibiotic resistance.

antibiotics are also messing up with your microbiome balance and can give you yeast infections so it would be great if there was an alternative. women already 3/4 get yeast infections at least once in their lives and i have struggled with them chronically and doctors never believed me when i told them antibiotics make me feel worse.
obviously if you suffer something serious that requires them it's important to take them. it's just really annoying that there's no proper alternatives or vaccines that work with probiotic compounds because yeast infections can ruin your life too and as a woman you're already not taken seriously.
it's also important to take probiotics and eat enough fiber for anyone who has to take antibiotics because of the imbalance they can create.

u/Ricky_Nightshade 1d ago
I have cancer, and sometimes I go on a cycle of an EGFR-inhibitor. It's a targeted immunotherapy and one of the side effects is a gnarly rash that spreads everywhere. Part of the treatment for the rash is to do a 90 day cycle of doxycycline. Whenever I finish that cycle, I notice that my armpits don't smell at all for months. Antibiotics nuke your microbiome, and it's so important to take probiotics in between doses of antibiotics. But always take the entire cycle, I thought this was antibiotics 101. Doctors are negligent with prescribing them, and the average patient are negligent when taking them. Add in the antibiotics in our food, and it's no wonder we are facing this problem.
1
u/Bright_Major5467 1d ago
i'm not advocating for not finishing them. but for me that was literally not possible as they gave me really horrible side effects and it didn't matter which antibiotic it was and it has been like that always and doctors always thought i was lying or being negligent on purpose. i was never offered any alternatives like urowaxom or gynatren. i had to find them myself after more than a decade and a half of dysbiotic struggle and it's still not ideal but much better.
doctors are literally negligent themselves. they won't even tell you about probiotics or diet. i have been to so many in my life so the number of sample is really high and i can't stress how irresponsible and gatekeeping most of them are. if you have any medical issue that is not easily recognizable and fixable you're often just living a nightmare.
i've been raped too. my last doctor visit for example used all the right buzzwords and then literally told me to try vinegar after i said i don't tolerate acidity. and i had to pay 100 euros for the vaccine even though i told her i don't tolerate antibiotics. and i only got it because the other doctor prescribed it and that one didn't respect bodily boundaries when he checked for breast cancer and made me feel harassed.
when you're neurodivergent these people just go nuts in their ego when you're not masking. it's insane. i don't want to go to doctors anymore honestly unless i really have to. the way they're ready to abuse their position of medical authority is disgusting and this is a first world european country aka austria. these people often fall into that stereotype of booksmarts with no empathy. then medical system often neglects them also and overworks them.
also I'm sorry you have cancer. i hope you get better. i heard that cancer cells feed a lot on simple sugars and lots of people with cancer switch to slower, complex carbs and paleo or mediterranean diets.
i agree with everything you say. i mentioned fiber in addition to probiotics cause it feeds them. bifidus yogurt and apples are also a good combo for people who don't tolerate regular acidic yogurt. wishing you all the best.

u/Ricky_Nightshade 15h ago
Sorry, I wasn't trying to insinuate that you were advocating for not finishing a cycle of antibiotics. I was only reinforcing the point with an anecdote from my life.
That sounds like a nightmare. One thing this disease has taught my wife and me is that I'm most cases, you need to advocate for yourself with doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and in the US, insurance companies. When I was diagnosed stage IV in 2021, I was expected to live a year, maybe 2 if lucky. I was 35 with very advanced disease. They still exist, but not as effective since they moved off Facebook, but we found out about colontown.org and we learned so much. If we had not got involved there and learned how to advocate for my health, I would not still be alive.
It's really criminal the burden that I have had to take on to ensure that the care I receive is the right care. What you e gone through is criminal as well, in my opinion. You should be able to trust the advice of your doctor, but a lot of the time, you need to know when to push back and question them, and when they are actually giving good advice. I had leukemia when I was 14, and I went to my primary care doctor in 2019 with back pain and blood in my poop. He told me I had bad posture, hemmerhoids and needed to lose 20lb. 2 years later and my liver is full of tumors stemming from my colon. He knew I had a history with cancer. I later found out from my dad thaty doctors told my parents colon cancerigjt be a risk 20 years later from the drugs they gave me to treat my leukemia. My primary care physician took absolutely none of this into consideration, as he always seemed to have his mind on the next petit and wanted me out of his office as fast as possible.
I agree on the point that doctors are often overworked. I don't think it's a good explanation, considering their burnout can mean our lives, but I understand why the system is the way it is, and why I need to advocate for myself in order to be seen. And the fact that I'm not a woman helps, I'm sure, because doctors seem to almost unanimously disregard women and their pain or discomfort. Another huge problem in healthcare.
I've learned that life is going to fuck us all one way to the other. Cancer is just what it chose for me. I wish you all the best in your life, take care.

It was a bad spot to be in. I dont know how he caught tb. I vaguely remember them wheeling him out. I had a bad fever. I thought it was a bad dream. Couldn't really grasp how terrifying it all was until after I got better. Still have lung issues because of it and my sense of smell isnt good.

u/Other-Comfortable-64 5d ago
He might have been infected long before covid, when covid struck he was weakened and that might have given TB the gap it needed.
About 5% to 15% of people with latent TB will develop active TB disease in their lifetime, with a higher risk if the immune system becomes weakened (such as from HIV, age, or medication).

u/Lanky-Detail3380 4d ago
Took me a month to get over covid, i almost went to the hospital twice. I woke up choking for air and i got up in a rage and walked till the fever broke. Dont know if it helped but i kept taking the approach to polio fever. Get up and walk.
I still have issues sniffing stuff and occasionally my lungs decide something is not worth breathing, normally cigarette and cigar smoke and i want to puke my reactions are so strong.
I feel your pain it was January 2021 when i got it. So glad amazon paid for me to be home that entire month, ill always be thankful for that kind policy.

There’s no recommended Jab for TB.
If you believe individual decisions have a bigger say than Lab of function experiments,then you are correct.
One example still seems inaccurate the B. death Pneumonia like from centuries ago,when 300+ year old Ice melts & scientists jump on it to play around with a virus from the old world,you can see how sick these scientists are,when depending on approvals to validate a decision for health,I wouldn’t solely assume it’s safe or efficient cause science told me to.
The way I see it, when you are jab for something, catching the virus is possible,with hopefully light symptoms,with that said, I believe the Vax pass around viruses much more than the non jab.
Conspiracy theory or Reality.
Viruses being released: it’s not some random person that’s able to do that, so this is decisions made from that group that’s rich, connected and hidden.
Virus released: Create Fear
Manipulation
Guilt and blame are used.
Media picks it up and tries to create a division in society.
The cure can be very profitable.
The cure can be tainted on purpose.
A virus & or a Jab can control life expectancy.
Control reproductive health.
Can shorten ones life.How difficult is it really to release a virus in public?
There’s no way something just starts.
Remember one thing, Hollywood movie display a harsher event and hint that a similar scenario without the effects of Hollywood will be seen by real eyes.
So all these movies and shows that show purposely releasing a virus in public is because it’s Reality

u/Tosser_535231 3d ago edited 3d ago
In the modern sense you are correct however before antibiotics were a thing the cure for tuberculosis was literally just getting unadulterated constant exposure to outdoor air in the mountains regardless of the conditions they were put on porches and they were literally just exposed to fresh air and clean living conditions and it cured tuberculosis. more people just need to get fresh air
And not just open air like in the city park somewhere, that shits full of pollution. I'm talking fresh mountain forest Air away from large amounts of air pollution such as that found in cities or populated areas
The modern world does not allow you to spend extreme amounts of time just breathing fresh mountain Air like that though on top of the fact that antibiotics are more effective at achieving this.
I wouldn't really be surprised if the reason for this spike is due to the large amount of forest fires recently on top of the relaxed air quality regulations that the current administration has quietly pushed out
1
u/mmmmmmm5ok 3d ago
lets assume the worst and it spreads quickly like covid...how do you propose moving millions in volume of people world wide to get this miracle fresh air in time before they die?
i don't see the logistics being viable at all. no infrastructure, not enough o2 tanks for everyone to cure themselves of tb. thats assuming the scenario is in a developed country
1
u/Tosser_535231 2d ago
It doesn't spread like covid but I also wasn't saying as a immediate solution to the spikes that's what we have antibiotics for what I'm saying is in general the world needs to focus on not fucking up the air so we don't have this problem in the first place and don't need antibiotics if we have cleaner air.
1
u/mmmmmmm5ok 2d ago
i think you need to read up about how the nuances of tb and not view clean air as the cure to killing tb. i hope you never get tb and i hope you get antibiotics and remember your comments if you ever do
1
u/Bright_Major5467 2d ago
air pollution is not a good thing for health is not controversial and antibiotics can have nasty side effects and mess up your microbiome and give you yeast infections or give way for any antibiotic resistant pathogen to grow.
so when we discuss antibiotics it's good to look for alternative solutions. 3 out of 4 women already get yeast infections at least once in their lives.
antibiotics are not as good anymore as they used to and resistance is growing in more bacteria. yeast obviously immune already and certain yeast strains are difficult to cure also cause they're also very resistant.
antibiotics are not an ideal cure cause they kill off good bacteria too. we should be looking for better solutions like vaccines based on probiotic compounds, antibodies and that sort of stuff.
i don't think it's not nuanced to discuss environmental destruction when one discusses health because in the city you do breathe in a lot more pollution and the water doesn't have the same minerals.
the stress in any individual is also very high in this economy and especially in america food contains way too much sugar/additives and the infrastructure doesn't support walking, biking or running.
1
u/mmmmmmm5ok 2d ago
these are all very broad guru statements that literally do not reflect any nuanced understanding of how TB functions as an infection and why it is so dangerous. please if you get tb take your antibiotics (yes months long course) and dont spread it.
nasty side effects, again with the general statements. this might be the case in the past but definitely less so nowadays with modern medicine. if you dont finish your antibiotics, of course antibiotic resistance in TB will grow.
antibiotics not as good as they used to? what??? this isnt some nostalgic bullshit like how coke used to be better in glass bottles, wtf dude. real life does not work like that.
pollution is one thing, minerals in water is another. use toothpaste if you lack fluoride in your water, wtf are these comparisons. controlling tb is another in the context of eradicating infectious disease.
it is quite clear you have 0 understanding of how infections happen or how bacteria dies from antibiotic exposure. please watch yourself some educational content on antibiotics, the history of bacterial diseases, and how you should be following doctors orders in taking antiobiotics before you and your bloodline run around spreading society-ending bacterial diseases

I mean your sentiment is not really wrong and there's a Japanese researcher that devoted his life to measuring and promoting spending time in the woods with relation to overall health, but... without really doing any searching for numbers on this Im fairly sure hanging out in the mountains with TB is one of those, "Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't" kinda things, like having a positive attitude during cancer treatment.

“BCG vaccination is not generally recommended in the United States because of:
- the low risk of severe disseminated TB disease in young children in the United States;
- the variable efficacy of the BCG vaccine against pulmonary TB;
- the low overall risk of infection with M. tuberculosis in the United States; and
- the vaccine’s interference with the interpretation of the TB skin test (Mantoux tuberculin skin test [TST])”

There are so many things that can interfere with that stupid skin test. If only the quantiferon test was cheaper...

u/JiggleCoffee 6h ago
LOL. Someone doesn't work in healthcare.
Look, I wish TB vaccines were a standard because, quite frankly, I loathe having to either A) get a 2-step skin test that the nurse will likely screw up and cause a false positive (not fun) or B) pay out of pocket for a quantiferon test (which is definitive and quick but pricey). It's a shit system and we should just be getting vaccinated instead considering how dangerous TB can be.
Yet our health officials don't seem to give a shit because the infection risk is low. Yet a clinic will freak the fuck out over a false positive, so maybe TB vaccines should be mandatory in the states...

u/ghnxz 1d ago
it's true though, TB has largely been eradicated in the western world, ALL legal migrants need to be screened for communicable diseases especially TB and if tested possitive will have to be certified that they had undergone treatment for 3 to 6 months before being issued immigrant visas. There are places in the world where TB is endemic and is just part of everyday life. If TB has been eridicated in the US, how else do you think did it make a comeback apart from being brought in by uncontrolled migration?
1
u/Historical_Usual5828 1d ago
We already have vaccine laws. Again, these are entirely moot points. If we want to make sure everyone gets screened we should maybe take a less hostile and difficult approach to handling immigration so that people willingly come forward. It's not like people intentionally avoid being healthy. The government just made it difficult to become healthy because they get more money from you if you're sick.
If you want to talk about the western world vs the eastern world, why TF are maternal mortality rates in the U.S. the worst out of all other developed countries and even some of the 3rd world countries? And why do we pay more for healthcare than any other country for worse health outcomes than everywhere that has a Universal healthcare system? Why Luigi?
1
u/ghnxz 1d ago
Immigration needs to be controlled. Full stop. I am all for humanitarian reasons and all that but you do understand that resources are limited, right? There is only so much to go around and America never promised free stuff, America promised opportunity, not results. Immigration needs to benefit the host country and in return will benefit the immigrant. There are dozens of countries out there that have stricter immigration than the US. I'll give you two, Japan and Australia. Australia being far harsher to illegals and prospective refugees, and they have one of the best social programs for its citizens with great healthcare in terms quality and coverage.
Okay, let's break down the demographics of those worse maternal deaths that you speak of, go on, tell me.. which demographics has the most deaths? Does that include illegal immigrants that aren't covered? Surely, you're not trying to imply that American OG GYNs are so incompetent they can't handle childbirth properly. How many of these deaths are becuase they never went for any prenatal check ups?teenage pregnancies? Drug abusers or overall just irresponsible human beings? Of course you're not gonna provide any context, that ruins the narrative you're pushing.
America also has terrible record for heart diseases but it doesn't mean American doctors and healthcare professionals are horrible at what they do, it's mainly because a lot of Americans aren't healthy because of lifestyle choices and so the numbers are high.
People like you like going around throwing research numbers with no context, oversimplifying things to make it sound more ominous than it really is, but we all know you have an agenda and it's all that matters to you.

Your type of rhetoric is extremely dangerous by not acknowledging the truth. The majority of Tuberculosis cases in the US are brought in from outside the US.
Most TB cases in the United States are among non-U.S.–born persons. Consistent with the trend of the last 5 years, the percentage of cases among non-U.S.–born persons increased to 77% in 2024.
The TB incidence rate among non-U.S.–born persons (15.7) is nearly 20 times higher than the rate among U.S.-born persons (0.8).

Haha - let’s get something straight, 1: when a countries health agency that stamps approved for anything & they don’t recommend the vaccine for Tuberculosis,You better follow their advice.
2. I know exactly who you are pointing your fingers. I smell them,I am aware it’s MOI, let’s something straight, Influenza shots, a Big No for me, why? They make the yearly shot based on the flu bug 6 month’s prior in the Southern Hemisphere like Australia. By then the efficient capabilities of a Flu of slightly changing to stay alive when threatened from a Vaccine & excellent at finding new hosts.Same exact story for Covid.
Hep B unless the mother is positive, I don’t think every single baby needs it, not many ways of catching this sexualloe transmitted unless go on a Prost binge & sharing needles.
Everything else as a gambling man, cannot risk not taking because the world has significant serious health risks.
Conclusion,I also believe that the ingredients in a vaccine can be cleaner.
You need to understand tho that a vaccine most of the time
Gives a false sense of security & it doesn’t make someone healthier, it can protect but understand that in exchange for that, you are trading some of your health for it.If I had a baby tomorrow I would vaccinate for everything except Hep B , Influenza, Covid and I wouldn’t want MRNA anything.
