lol. well, every disease is dangerous and it can hurt your life and your love one's life. avoiding any kind of disease is the best thing. lucky we have something like the health or nutrition month and it is very good that a lot of people are getting very health conscious nowadays.

Default Re: National Tuberculosis Awareness Month

The Tuberculosis was one of the most deadly disease a few years back. Thanks to the researchers they made it curable and the therapy is known as Directly Observed Therapy(DOT) which completely cures TB. The problem is firstly TB is not that easy to be diagnosed in early stages. The other problem is people are ignorant enough to leave the course of medicine in between.

Thus to make people aware of these issues, if some awareness programs are being organized should be appreciated.
