New TB Screening Method Uses Tongue Swabs

Scientists have found a new way to test for tuberculosis.

Instead of the usual test, they are now using a simple swab of the tongue.

This test uses a special tool, based on a technology called CRISPR, to quickly find signs of the illness.

The test is much easier, especially for people who have trouble with the usual methods.

The tongue swab test gives results very quickly.

This new test is a big step toward making TB diagnosis easier.
