🫁 TB or Not TB

Yesterday, our Communicable Disease (CD) Nurse, Makayla, attended the TB or Not TB Course provided by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services. This training focused on strengthening knowledge and response efforts for tuberculosis (TB) prevention and control.

📚 What was covered?
✔️ TB diagnosis and testing
✔️ Management of latent TB infection (LTBI) and active TB disease
✔️ Treatment options and patient care
✔️ The Diagnostic Services Program (DSP)
✔️ Financial assistance available to local public health agencies (LPHAs)

💡 So… what is TB?
* TB is a disease caused by bacteria that usually affects the lungs, but can impact other parts of the body.
* It spreads through the air when a person with active TB disease coughs, speaks, or sings.
* Not everyone infected gets sick—some people have latent TB infection (LTBI), meaning the bacteria are in the body but inactive and not contagious.
* TB is treatable and curable with proper medication and follow-up care.

🛡️ Why this matters:
Ongoing education like this ensures SCHC is prepared to prevent, identify, and respond to TB cases—helping keep our community safe and healthy.

🚨 Tick Season Is Here — Stay Aware, Stay Protected!

Ticks aren’t just a nuisance—they can spread diseases that make people seriously sick. And right now, data shows tick bites are on the rise across the U.S.

📊 According to the CDC’s Tick Bite Data Tracker, emergency room visits for tick bites are monitored by region—including the Southeast—and show clear seasonal spikes as temperatures warm up.

🌎 In the Southeast, ticks are active for much of the year due to the warmer climate, and species like the lone star tick are especially common and aggressive biters.

⚠️ Recent reports also show tick-related ER visits are climbing nationwide, with the Southeast among the regions seeing increased activity.

🦠 Tick bites can lead to illnesses like:
• Lyme disease
• Rocky Mountain spotted fever
• Alpha-gal syndrome
