We've heard a lot about Tuberculosis this week- after a Huntington Applebee's employee tested positive for the illness.

There are five West Virginia Counties in the WSAZ viewing area that require TB tests to get food handler's licenses. Boone, Mingo, Logan, Putnam and Jackson. For example- if you worked at a Fast Food Resturant in one of those five counties you'd have to get a test.

TB is not a food bourne disease- it's a person to person disease.
