Yes, Mr. Maskless Newtonite got latent TB himself (we're originally from a part of the world where TB is always a concern for healthcare workers, mind you). But I'll say that, depending on your sense of humor, you might find it entertaining to pee orange for 4-5 months. Rifampin will do that. It's a serious disease, regardless. I'm glad kids here in America are vaccinated against atypical forms of TB. Oh, wait. Never mind. But don't worry, the risk for kids here in America is very low (Mr. Maskless Newtonite saw just a handful of cases at his practice here). Just make sure you don't hire a foreign-born nanny and, most importantly, remember to live with constant feelings of terror, since deadly germs are all around us and danger lurks around every corner.
