I use to have the same reaction to the TB test, the one that they poke you

with the little metal nails....I reacted to them also....being I have such

an allergy to metals on my skin, (gold necklaces and such) they came to the

conclusion that I was having an allergic reaction to the little

pokers....after that I get the bubble test, they inject the fluid right

under the skin....no reactions anymore...

Just a thought,

Subject: Fw: TB

,

When I was 18 (1968) I had a routine test for TB where they prick your arm.

The area raised up and was red--sort of like a mosquito bite. The Dr. said

I had a positive reaction so I was sent to the Health Dept. to get an X-ray.

It was negative. The Dr. said at some time I was exposed to TB possibly

when I was 5 years old and was hospitalized--my roommate was an elderly

woman. Don't know how I was exposed no one in my family had a reaction to

the test like I did.

Moved to NC, years went by and I had a physical and they gave me a TB test.

It did the same thing. I told them what had happened in 1968. They put it

on my medical record to never give me a TB test, that it could cause active

TB. I have never taken any medication for it.

I am still going to the same Medical Center for the last 30 years so they

know my history.
