I actually thought this had been eradicated many years ago. I am shocked it’s still around.

What fabulous prizes to be won. How could anyone miss out.
TB tests are a part of my onocologists routine for me now. I hope that others recognize and do their part.
Yay, prizes! I hope to join the party tomorrow night.
This sounds like it’s going to be a great, informative session. TB vaccines are extremely important in our world.
My uncle and grandpa both had TB in, oh I guess 98ish. One of them had it in his knee. I tested positive back then along with my mom but it is inactive, I now have to have an xray because my tests will show positive.
Wow this is fantastic news that there is now a test that can diagnose TB. A party is a great way of raising awareness too.
I’ll be there. I love that the TB blood test makes it so much easier to get results faster.
This is great, and using social media will bring a lot more attention to this. Will be sharing this post.
Those are some pretty hefty prizes up for grabs. I don’t do Twitter parties often, but hmmm $150 sounds like a good bribe.
Our family focuses on health from the inside out, so testing for rare illnesses isn’t high on our priority list. Great option for families who frequently travel out of the country, though!
I’m glad more people will get informed about TB. Looks like a great giveaway too.
It’s good to inform people about TB, and educate about it. That’s a good giveaway too!
Dang! I wish I had seen this earlier. I feel that this is an important step in monitoring our health. I would have definitely taken part!
I’m going to have to check out the hashtag to catch up on what I missed! I’m really interested in the blood test!
Thanks for sharing, this is definitely something I will be remembering when it is time for my son to be tested! This will make it so much more convenient to get the results.
Good luck with the twitter party. That is such a great idea for spreading awareness.
So many great prizes 🙂 Having worked in public health previously, I know TB is still popping up here and there. It’s great there’s a new test that makes diagnosis easier.
This is so awesome! I am glad they are bringing awareness to this test. Such a blessing for so many!
I didnt know about the TB blood test. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and I am sure its gonna be a good informative Twitter party.
woah sweet gifts here! I have been so bad at Twitter parties but I’m getting better andwould love to join!
Wow this is great news. Certainly less stressful for kids to take! I’ll pass this onto my friends with kids for sure, I bet a lot don’t know about this.
It’s so great that scientists develop ever more accurate ways to test for diseases. Thanks for raising awareness!
I love how there is a TB blood test. This is awesome and this means you wont have to have the old school annoying TB test
What a great way to bring awareness to such an important topic. I wish I hadn’t missed it!
Thanks for sharing. I am not a fan of twitter, why I can;t get myself into tweeting and since I’m a visual I want to see pics more than anything. Have fun! and win
