Tuberculosis Injection

So today we took the test at school.
I only got a red thing on my hand.It's not like a bubble it's flat.
Is that because my body accepted the threat and I have to take the true injection?

You gotta wait for 4 or 5 days to know the final result

thats what happens when you get an injection

But I got it in 8:10AM (the injection) and now it's 5:45PM.
Nothing happened to my hand.Just a red dot.(After I took the injection I had a little bubble but after it went.)

I'm afraid

6 needles in one hand ouch

omg Takari .. i hate needles xD and anything that is sharp xD my body starts shaking ...

It didn't really hurt.
When he put the needle in my skin I didn't feel anything.He waited like 3 seconds and then he was pushing the Tuberculin units and then that hurt.It was really hot.

Right now I'm feeling nothing.I even got a hit on it and didn't feel anything.

pff this is childish. I got stabbed 10 times.

No idea

never been stabbed at school.

@Takari Usually it takes 48 to 72 hours for the body respond to the injection. The reaction is measured after 72 hours to see if a skin reaction occurred.

The skin at the site of injection swelling (hardening) and red. When the swelling a diameter of 10 millimeters or more, the result is positive. There is a high risk of (made by) tuberculosis infection. A diameter of 6 to 9 millimeters is considered doubtful.

So, having no bubble is

So if I understood well if you got a flat skin where you took the injection you don't need to take the full injection?
I am Right?

that's why i don't go on tests -.-

we've got a nurse at MPGH

im talkign about @Archangel

You have to take several test before you can actually know if you have TB. That's just test one. And there's a way to prevent it anyhow so don't worry.
