How do people contract tb?

I've been hearing a lot about TB cases, especially in crowded cities like ours. I'm a bit worried about prevention. Can someone explain how exactly people contract TB, so I can take better precautions?

Bhai, TB ki bimari hawa se phailti hai jab koi bimar vyakti khasta ya chinkta hai. Agar hum unke paas bina muh dhake baithenge toh yeh sans ke jariye hamare andar chala jata hai. Apne dhyan rakhiyega aur khasi hone par turant sarkari hospital me janch karwaiye.

It is a bacterial infection that spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Since diabetes can lower your immunity, we have to be extra careful in crowded places. Eating a highly nutritious diet and keeping your blood sugar in control helps the body fight off such infections.

Haan, yeh air-borne disease hai, toh jab koi infected banda khasta hai toh bacteria hawa mein aa jata hai. Agar immunity weak ho toh jaldi catch hota hai na. Isliye mask pehenna aur closed spaces mein ventilation rakhna bohot zaroori hai.

It spreads through the air when someone coughs, which makes me want to live in a bubble with all the dust and pollution we already have! Jokes aside, if you have a cough that lasts more than two weeks, don't ignore it. Get a simple sputum test done and keep life simple.

TB bacteria are spread through tiny droplets released in the air during coughing. It is not as easily caught as a common cold, but poor immunity makes one more vulnerable. I always try to focus on building overall strength rather than worrying too much, but a proper doctor's advice is always safest.
