Llwynhendy TB outbreak: Family 'disgusted' after death
The family of a woman who died after an outbreak of tuberculosis said they are "disgusted" with how it was handled.
Margaret Pegler's daughter Joanna said the 64-year-old died five days after being told she had the disease last September.
They formally complained to Hywel Dda health board about her treatment.
The health board said it could not comment, while it is unclear how many have been affected in Llwynhendy, Carmarthenshire.
TB is a bacterial infection, spread through inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person.
It is a serious condition, but can be cured with proper treatment.

It amazes me that TB has been reported so often in recent years.
The strains are apparently getting resistant to antibiotics and other meds used to cure it in the past.

We have always known that resistance will happen sooner or later, that seems to be a typical occurrence. In the spiritual realms which Do exist, there are no germs of anykind.
