Wow. I guess I should have asked "where have you worked that you weren't possibly exposed to TB?" I'd bet on China too.

We get a lot of positive PPD tests here, mainly the international students. They do the chest Xray & recommend the INH, but most don't take it. Personally, I'd take it if I ever converted to +. But we haven't had an active TB case at the college in years.


Back on topic - I made egg drop soup the other day - very filling, lots of protein, low cal. You can use only egg whites if you want.
