When talking about the serious issues that plague society, saying that "it can happen to anyone" is not a scare tactic, it is a fact. And Lexi Van sharing her past struggles with TB is proof of this.
Seeing as today is #WorldTBDay, the former Big Brother Mzansi housemate took to Twitter to share the fact that she was diagnosed with TB during her first year in college and that she has to go through a lot just to beat the disease.
