Tb test?

Published

I just got my second tb test for the "teo step tb test." I needa this for my phlebotomy classes. The nurse was new and she gave me the tb test but during it she made me drip 3-4 specks of blood. The first test i got the bubble went away in a matter of 30 minutes. Now i have a bump filled with blood. Is that normal? Why is there blood there now?
