How do people get tb?

Hey. Tuberculosis spreads quite easily through respiratory droplets in crowded, poorly ventilated areas. If someone has a persistent cough for more than two weeks, fever, or night sweats, they need a proper sputum test. Remember, TB is fully curable with a continuous course of antibiotics, so don't skip any doses.

Ah, TB basically spreads through air droplets when you are around someone who has it and is coughing. I already lose sleep over my job, and reading about airborne bacteria makes me want to lock myself in my room forever. Just wash your hands and wear a mask in super crowded places, guys.

My roommate actually had TB last semester and got so weak. It spreads just like a cold when someone coughs near you, especially in hostel rooms where there is not much fresh air. He took his medicines regularly for six months and now he is absolutely fine, playing football again.

I got TB back in 2021, probably from public transport. I had this non-stop cough and lost so much weight in just a month. My advice is simple: don't ignore a long cough, get tested immediately, and finish the full medicine course even if you start feeling better in two months.
