PVC breaks down when exposed to sunlight. That’s not a problem when they’re buried underground for water mains.

my chest x-rays came back fine too though. Maybe im wrong but i was under the impression that most infected people, even those without breathing problems, have it show up to some extent on chest x-rays? whether i have it or not, the dr thinks i was definitely sick with something, and that combined with seasonal allergies it might have triggered undiagnosed asthma. wont know for sure until i can see a lung specialist in 420 years

it's staggering to think about how many americans have no idea they have preexisting conditions because they don't go to the doctor unless they violently lose consciousness and someone else calls 911

yes but only 80% of the time, it's a little hole usually in the upper arm

you can also probably calculate it if you know your country and year of birth

If you were born in a country that administered it at that time and got it, you would have a scar on your upper arm. If you've ever had a PPD (skin test) for tuberculosis, you would give a false positive (rash) and they'd have to do a chest x-ray to confirm you didn't have TB. You would've done this for school or college or if you worked in the public sector with children at any point (assuming you're in America).

Fun story: I was bcg immunized but a local doctor did a skin test when I was 4 for day care and told my fam I had TB. My dad told him I didn't and to do a chest x-ray because it's BCG. The doctor ended up getting a court order to force my dad to give me TB meds with serious kidney and/or liver damage as a potential side-effect. Being poor, my dad couldn't really fight the case, but managed to contact a doctor at Stanford to write a letter to the court supporting my case. It eventually got overturned but I took those meds twice a day for over a year and that's why I still can't loving stand apple sauce or Sprite.
