When I first moved to scenic SE Ohio a number of years ago, my doc pushed regular TB screening, as it still percolated in impoverished areas, particularly those without access to health care, other than a pre-booking screening. (Side note: apparently a lot of facilities have stopped testing new inmates and guests due to a shortage of serum). I also don't know exactly how valid it is, but she mentioned that one of our best defenses was our stress-out stomachs, full of acid that would kill the bacteria. TB is still on the list of not-uncommon crime scene pathogens.
After a trip thru some of the year-'round haunted house full of slime and gore that you'll travel through in your jobs, you'll also develop the skill to hold your breath for 3 hours while you do interviews, speaking without actually ever inhaling.
