Tuberculosis testing coming up; do I need to prepare?!
Question: Tuberculosis testing coming up; do I need to prepare?
I'm applying to volunteer at the local hospital (get some real world experience to help me decide what to do for my future career). There is a standard physical and a tuberculosis test that I have to do.
From what I've read, they just inject something under the dermis layer of the skin, and then read it 2-3 days later.
Do I need to do anything prior, or is there anything that can screw up the reading? I really want to be accepted into this, and I don't want anything to be screwed up. I'm 16, by the way (17 this coming Friday).

Answers:
No, you shouldn't prepare for anything and be relaxed.
