Those are sputum cups; they're for the expectorate that TB patients cough up. They would have been disposed with by burning or else possibly used for specimen slides to test the "germ count" on each patient. Your sputum had to be free of TB bacilli for a certain number of months before you could be considered cured or arrested, and released.

my only guess is that those safety/fire axes probably owned by the hospital and kept in a certain area for fire escape purposes. You said they use these old delapatated buildings for training, i don't think the goverment sound send out good men into an unsafe building but with that said... the fire department might have been there for training and left a couple pieces of surplus behind.

psycadelic one, though blood would have dried up, there is a massive list of pathogens that can survive excessive periods of time. One would need to practice utmost care when around stuff like this..

Thanks Lynne, I was looking at it guessing it was a bib of some sort (for TB, coughing).

Why would anyone feel the need to restrain a TB patient, but then I hear you lot are all just a bunch of sadistic bastards! I bet you drown kittens just for fun, huh.


(Pls take that with the humour it was intended, I retract if you dont see the funny side of it).
