Why you don't want to get tuberculosis on your penis

Miliary tuberculosis (MTB) is a severe form of tuberculosis in which the instigating bacteria- Mycobacterium tuberculosis or potentially a relative that infects cows and deer, Mycobacterium bovis -spread widely through the body and create small lesions. The name "military" dates back to 1700, when a physician noted that the specks resembled millet seeds. While Mycobacterium can spread through the air and are often found in the lungs, the bacteria can strike anywhere in the body.
