“How closely related are Covid-19 & TB?”
I was seriously ill for a few months back in 2019. I went to several doctors in my area and even 100 miles north & south of my hometown. I landed in the emergency room and was seen & again almost dismissed with oh your crazy & maybe a few days' rest will you awake and you'll feel better. They took blood from two different sites. On September 3rd, I got a call and the results were I had a bacteria in my blood. The nurse got frustrated and hung up on me!
I later went in for hospital records and results and it shows I had Cocci cluster stryppococcouse live species growth. Does that have any relation to TB Or Covid-19? I also had a horrible skin break out & still seem to have an overgrowth of dead skin cells & very very itchy, dry skin. My scalp seems to have some sort of infection on it as well. My hair is very dry, breaks off very badly, & I run a fine-tooth comb through it & some sort of black-ish substance lifeless ends up in comb. It feels as if little unseen specs continuously land on my body that cause me to have an itching sensation. Also, it appears that I continue to get scratches very thin surface deep scratches on legs mostly that appear out of nowhere.

Staphylococcus is a bacterium that live on our skin. When anyone of us have a cut on the skin, there is always a chance to get and infection, not only topical but in the blood. That’s why a thorough cleaning of the skin is necessary immediately after you get a cut. Now, if you have a decreased immune system due to other diseases, an infection with any bacteria can spread faster in the blood and the immune system is bombarded with a greater bacterial load and therefore a greater infectious process. No, they are not related to COVID or TB. Remember, our skin is our protector from all bacterial, viruses, and any other microbial offender’s. Thank you.
