The white death has haunted humanity like no other disease following us for thousands, maybe millions of years. In the last 200 years it killed a billion people - way more than all wars and natural disasters combined. Even today it’s the infectious disease with the highest kill count.
But what is this horrible disease?

It was a huge scare a century ago where I lived as well. But today, it practically doesn't exist. I've never heard of anyone I know mention anyone in their circles having. And if someone did catch it, it would most likely be a bunch of pills for a while and that's it, no jobs lost, no lives ruined, no futures of family members down the toilet because of bad luck, despite hard work.

@Lord_Omni 3 месяца назад

Here in Russia we have two opposite situations: 1) every person who is known to have TB and not currently in hospital or jail is hunted as a serial killer, 2) in pre-jail and jail places TB is common and everyone who found himself there gets a truckload of vaccines no matter if you have it or being vaccinated before - that prevents TB prom spreading from new occupants to ones who are already there. And getting all three vaccines from TB is usual deal when you are around 23. So I knew 5 people who died from covid, one from cancer and none from TB.

@Chatisthisrealquestionmark 3 месяца назад

@bartoszrybinski29 3 месяца назад

It's not only Russia. In Poland we all have mandatory vaccinations, every kid gets vaccinations against around 10-20 infections with TB included. Every person is obligated by law to get mandatory hospitalization if TB is detected. Even you are not registered into public health care system, government will pay for treatment but you cannot go out of the hospital. We also have mandatory hospitalization for bird flu, plague, SARS, diphtheria, cholera and multiple other extremely dangerous diseases. I think that most European countries treat it really seriously, but we also have public healthcare system with bigger capacity than most of the world. For e.g. China (ironically communist country) has mostly private low capacity system and they cannot provide adequate healthcare for their entire population so TB spreads there more easily

I caught TB and I live in France (Paris). I still remember that the worse part was not the coughing or the fever but the loss of appetite. I kept this disease for more than 6-7 months until I got cured. I went to see doctors because I didn't know what was happening to me, I thought first it was flu and the doctors thought so as well. For multiple months, nobody could diagnostic what I had and I described the symptoms : cough, fever, loss of appetite, cold sweat (I lost 15kg by the time I was cured). It's until I got to the hospital when they gave me an X-ray radiography and you could see how big it was in my lung. This disease is still underestimated these days, because people think that's not something that you can caught in western countries. You should still be afraid of this shit, way more than being afraid to get COVID. EDIT : English is not my first language so I may have some typo/grammatical errors.

My dad worked in a TB research lab back in the 70's and 80s. It was an outbuilding far away from the research hospital it was part of. When it finally closed down, they poured accelerant all through it and burned it *multiple* times, knocked it down, salted the earth with chemicals it and then buried it under concrete just to be sure. That sh*t is seriously hard to kill.

I just finished school to be an EMT and if there is one thing they emphasize, it's how scary TB is and the importance of safety. To quote my instructor, "people think that car accidents and fires are the scary calls to go on, but if you follow the rules, you're safe. Tuberculosis and Meningitis are the two scariest calls you can go on. Wear gloves and masks and get tested."

@ChristianSchwarzbach 3 месяца назад

That is simply not true. As a TB-specialist I can assure you that wearing an FFP2/N95-mask protects you "100%". It takes very intesive (e.g. when you intubate a person) or long lasting (>8 hours) UNPROTECTED contacts to get infected. And even then only 10% of those at risk acquire the infection. And of those infected only 5% get sick in their lifetime. In Western Europe it is easy to treat TB - the high number of deaths happen elsewhere in the world. The hard thing is to think of TB as a differential diagnosis even in parts of the world where it has become rare - like in the Netherlands. And if you, as an EMT, a notified in advance of a possible TB case (in my experience from Germany a false report most of the time) you should not worry at all as long as you wear a mask. Even gloves can be omitted.

It is all due to human selfishness. Drugs are not distributed to poorer countries, leading the disease to infect more and evolve.

We will keep getting new and worse diseases while people don't realize that a disease in a poor country is an epidemic or pandemic waiting to happen in the entire world. We need global efforts to give free access to medicine for every country in the world. We will not solve diseases if people can't afford treatment and spread them everywhere.

@zenithvesperclips 3 месяца назад

My mother almost died two years ago from latent TB that she thought she overcame in Mexico as a child, where she grew up. Evidently, it came back with a vengence 30 years later; and in addition to causing pulmonary symptoms, however, it attacked her spinal fluid and caused meningitis. The inflammation got so severe so quickly that it paralyzed the gut nerves connected to the vertibrae where the inflammation was the worst, leading to much poorer digestive function. Between the exceptionally powerful antibiotic regiment she took to kill the TB and the damage it did to her gut nerves, the doctors she saw only gave her a few months to live on her own. They said she would likely slowly starve to death as her digestive system could no longer process anything more complex than a simple sugar. A nutrient IV would postpone it, but that is incredibly expensive and the American Healthcare system is kinda rigged. Things were looking pretty grim for a while, but she actually found salvation in gut microbiome transplants and smoothies. She still has to puree any solid food before she eats it to avoid indigestion and has to completely avoid fast food, but she is no longer critically malnourished. Thanks, Kurzgesagt for making a video on this. Here in the developed countries it's easy to take TB for granted, but it is still a monster humanity should not forget exists.

Hello! I'm a medical student from Italy and wanted to say just one more thing: when a patient results positive to immunological tests but shows no signs of active tubercolosis (a condition defined as latent TB infection), there's the possibility to be treated with a chemoprophilaxis which is essentially an antibiotic treatment similar to the one for active TB (usually two drugs instead of four). I don't know how it works in your countries, but look it up if you're ever in need! It helps reducing the probability of a future reactivation!

I am from Indonesia. And 3 of my extended families dies of TB. 1 Adult of 30-ish years and 2 elders of 50-ish years, and it was all from 1 household. Those was 2 parents and 1 child, they are a family of 2 parents, 5 children, 2 of the children's spouse and 2 grandchildren, they all shared a medium sized house of questionable conditions, as Rent is quite high. I do believe the whole family is infected with TB but are in the dormant state, sometimes I too get paranoid about it when experiencing bad cough, either from Covid, common cold, or from my allergies and asthma, almost everyone in the extended family have quite a lengthy contacts with the "TB" Infected family. Maybe I'll get screened for TB once in a while, although we have an even scarier risk we are forced to live with... It's named "ASBESTOS", it's everywhere in Indonesia, most houses use it as ceiling materials, because they are cheaper and people are unaware of the dangers. Worse yet, the asbestos conditions in most of the houses are in deteriorating conditions, either cracked or broken completely from previous earthquakes which is quite common in my country.

As a kid, I remember reading about "the consumption" - which is a pretty apt descriptor for how tuberculosis chips away at your health and life if untreated. It's presence is still seen in older media, with things like cowboys spitting at people being a huge deal, since it was illegal in lots of places because of how easily tuberculosis can spread through saliva, or how Dracula described vampires' victims in detail that matches the victims of TB. It irks me that we could have eradicated it but then basically shrugged our shoulders and went, "eh, good enough." 😒 My hope is that one day the only way tuberculosis has an impact on people is through history or media such as literature or movies.

@robinchesterfield42 3 месяца назад

Yeah, that's how I originally read about it too, "consumption", and MAN that's a creepy name. One we don't use so much anymore, unfortunately. I remember, one time I was watching a Let's Play of "Oregon Trail 2" here on RU-vid (yes, there's an Oregon Trail 2, and it's WAY deadlier and more detailed than the first one) and at one point, somebody in the wagon party got sick, and when you talk to people to try to figure out what's going on, one lady is like "Oh, I think he's come down with the consumption!" "Consumption?" said the confused modern RU-vidr. "Wait, do you mean like, he ATE too much? Eating? Is that what that is?" Oh. Oh honey no. No. YOU'RE not the one consumING...

I found out I had TB when I got checked at the VA Hospital after getting out of the Army. Found out I got it when on a NATO mission back in 2015 in Eastern Europe. Although currently dormant, I still have it and am able to get treatment but can't due to current medications that would cause severe problems to the rest of my body. Every year I need to get x-rayed and have blood drawn to see if my TB is no longer dormant and has become active. It's a scary feeling knowing you have TB. Every time you cough, don't feel good, have chest pressure, anything really, makes you paranoid that your TB has become active. You have to disclose that you have TB Everytime you go to a clinic or hospital and doctors and nurses are nervous to get near you and always wear high protection masks even before covid even for basic checkups. I have 3 children and a wife and am always scared I will spread the TB to them as well. All around it's a physical and mental nightmare for me and it's not even active TB...

I had TB when I was 6 years old, more than 60 years ago. Mom told me I would always have it, it isn't dormant but can be if my health deteriorates. I had to be X-rayed every 2 years and was told not to take any TB tests/shots at school since I would always be positive. My grandmother had it a few years before I was born and had to go to a sanitorium but I didn't due to medicine. She lost the use of 1 lung (she lived 40+ years without it) and continued to smoke. I never knew her as a non-smoker (died at age 93). I never worry about it. When it's my time, I'm gone. I hope you will ask Jesus into your heart if you haven't already.

Unfortunately due to the prohibitive cost of healthcare of the United States, getting that treatment costs tens of thousands of dollars alone; god forbid you have to stay any stretch of time in a hospital for that treatment period. If the disease doesn't kill you then the sheer stress of the medical bills will.

@MegaLokopo 3 месяца назад

It isn't really that bad in the us, you just have to ask for a lower bill and negotiate, and your bill will very quickly become much lower.

@BowandSvent 3 месяца назад

@@MegaLokopo you can ask for the bill to be itemized, at which point many insignificant costs may be removed because of how a hospital charge master works but ultimately if you end up having to spend a significant amount of time in a room or the ER your bill will be within the tens of thousands within a matter of days. A single ER visit cost my girlfriend 35k and there wasn't even an overnight stay. Merely seeing a doctor for 5 minutes costs upwards of 300. If you are wealthy you can afford this kind of thing easily but for the rest of us these are bills that will easily and immediately break the bank with little to no chance of financial recovery.

Don't you think you deserve to spend time with your family and friends instead of negotiating your own health with these jerks? It's a waste of your time.

@@celisewillis You are basically saying you wouldn't be willing to get paid thousands of dollars just to make a few phone calls and send a few emails. I never said the system was perfect, it can and should be improved, but it isn't as bad as most people think. There are many other reasons why healthcare in japan is cheaper one of which is their tiny military. If they had to fully fund a military large enough to hold off china, they wouldn't be able to have such cheap medicine. You aren't making very good comparisons, we are the richest country, our treatments are better and we have more of them, we also fully fund a military with tax payer dollars that can protect every single ally we have, not a single ally of the us has been invaded since world war 2. Anyways many more people come to the us for medical treatments than they people who leave the us for treatment.
