Artifact 6 

When it comes to Tuberculosis and ways to try and prevent the disease from coming on in my opinion falls under ways to prevent any disease from coming on. Just by taking care of yourself, staying clean, good living standards, and eating right. It’s when you neglect those standards is when you run the risk for catching an infectious disease like Tuberculosis. I understand in the world today that many people cannot help but live that way and in many ways hoping that new technology can help cure them from the disease. 

As when immigrants were coming over into the U.S. in the 19th century many of them were put into tenements which most of the time held many immigrants. With these people coming from different counties some were already carrying Tuberculosis and when they arrived and placed in these very tight living conditions it was just a playground for the disease. Then when it comes to HIV infections I think individuals get the disease and are not aware that they have it and they have sex with one person then they have sex and so on. The extremely resistant tuberculosis was most likely caused by the first drugs the patient took that made the disease go away for a period of time but then come back stronger and not affected by the same drugs. There is only one solution to the failure of diagnoses and proper treatment of Tuberculosis and that is a slow depressing death.
