Re: Thanks mpdela

First and foremost, tuberulosis (TB), or any other contageous disease, has nothing to do with metabolic body odor.  Here's a very good explanation of it in wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis. 

Also the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention publish online info on TB, http://www.cdc.gov/tb/faqs/default.htm, including frequently asked questions (faq).

I hope this answers all your questions.
