How easy is it to contract tb?

I agree with others. It usually takes long-term exposure in closed spaces, not just a casual meeting, to contract TB.

Having a strong immune system is your best defense against such infections. Ensure you are eating a balanced diet with plenty of leafy greens, lentils, and fresh fruits. TB spreads through air, but a healthy body can resist the bacteria well.

Haan na, people get so scared thinking it spreads like wildfire. It actually needs very close, daily contact in small rooms to catch it. Just keep your house airy and well-ventilated, and there is no need to worry.

My doctor told me that even if you breathe in the bacteria, your immune system often walls it off, resulting in latent TB which is non-infectious. It only turns into active disease if immunity drops. So, it's not as easily contracted or activated as people think.

TB bacteria are spread through the air when a person with active lung TB coughs or sneezes. It typically requires prolonged exposure to contract. If you have been in close contact with an active patient, a simple doctor's visit and a chest X-ray are recommended.

I spent six months on TB treatment and my family stayed with me the whole time without catching it. We just kept our windows open and I used a mask during the initial weeks. Don't be afraid, with a few sensible steps, it is highly preventable.
