Poor quality and crowded housing can contribute to such health problems as tuberculosis (TB), gastroenteritis, and hepatitis, as well as exposure to high levels of lead. Tuberculosis (TB) is more prevalent in Mexico than in the United States, and some infected immigrants work as migrant farmworkers. Additionally, TB tends to spread in regions where housing is crowded. Migrant farmworkers have higher rates of TB than most population groups.
