Tuberculosis. It has been the cause of countless deaths throughout human history. This is a scary disease that has existed in humans for thousands of years; In the last two centuries alone, he has mercilessly murdered and maimed billions of people! It is also called the White Death or White Death because this unique microbe can be very devastating. It is one of the diseases that has tormented humans for ages and the story of this horrible slaughterer continues even today. Tuberculosis (TB) is characterized by various infections that can completely shut down the body. Its infections are varied and it usually eats away lung tissue and forms boils that release pus. As the disease progresses, the lungs will be mercilessly devoured and the victim will become pale and frail, coughing up blood and becoming unable to breathe. The word consumption comes from this disease because o Infections of the digestive tract can cause severe vomiting, bloody diarrhea and severe pain. Besides the lungs, it can also infect the bloodstream and even the kidneys. Tuberculosis can also paralyze people's nervous systems and bones. Basically, it can completely destroy the body. Surprisingly, the germ that causes it (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) is extremely small. This deadly germ is spread through droplet infection, including sneezing and coughing (less contagious than colds or flu but deadly) and only people with active tuberculosis are contagious. (63) It can also infect humans through milk, and milk infections are extremely rare. The treatment of this killer began with a man named Hermann Brehmer, who began building a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients, which provided them with healthy food and fresh air. This idea spread throughout Europe and eventually...... middle of article...... The United States Department of Health and Human Services proposed a goal to abolish completely eliminate tuberculosis on Earth by 2010. However, several Missouri counties have reported recent increases in tuberculosis and said it still poses a threat because it is airborne and contagious; tuberculosis will remain a danger for humanity (Nochlin, 2010). People still have to overcome various obstacles to achieve this goal, because AIDS and tuberculosis work together to kill victims more quickly and intensify the dangers of some tuberculosis. Different regions of the world are also at risk, including India and Africa, and Africa is particularly at risk. Twenty-five million people are HIV positive and 200 million are infected with inactive tuberculosis (Zimmerman, 2003). Certainly, these statistics predict an inevitable massacre and the white death could become the greatest health disaster in the history of humanity..
