How easy is it to catch tb?

My colleague had TB last year and we all worked in the same bay, but luckily no one else caught it. It really requires long hours of close contact in closed spaces. Just maintain good hygiene and don't stress yourself out.

My family doctor at Kokilaben hospital explained that it requires close, prolonged contact with someone who has active lung TB. It doesn't spread from sharing cups or shaking hands. If you are worried, please get a Mantoux test done at a good hospital.

Just keep your immunity top-notch by eating protein-rich food and fresh fruits! TB is an airborne thing, but a well-nourished body knows how to defend itself. Keep enjoying healthy, home-cooked meals and stay safe.

I recovered from pulmonary TB two years ago. My wife and kids lived with me and didn't catch it because we kept the windows open for ventilation and I wore a mask. It is not as easily caught as a common cold if you follow basic steps.

I remember feeling so scared and isolated when a family member was diagnosed, thinking we would all catch it. But we took precautions, and none of us got infected. It is normal to feel anxious, but with basic hygiene, you are safe.

TB spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, so one must be careful in crowded places. Drink warm milk with turmeric to keep your strength up, and ensure your rooms get plenty of sunlight. Always consult a doctor if someone has a long-standing cough.

If your immunity is strong and your lungs are healthy through proper breathing exercises and clean living, your body can often fight off the bacteria easily. It generally spreads in crowded, damp spaces. Focus on building your health daily.
