Yeah, TB can spread if someone with active TB coughs or sneezes. That's why good hygiene and ventilation are important. Staying fit and eating right also helps boost your immunity in general.

My health app actually has some info on this. Yes, it's contagious, mostly through air when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. Wear a mask if you're around someone diagnosed with it, and track your symptoms if you're concerned.

Oh, please be careful. My uncle had TB and it spread to his lungs. It's definitely contagious, especially if you're in close contact. If you have any symptoms or suspect exposure, don't delay, see a doctor immediately.

Simple baat hai, haan, it spreads through air. Khansi, sardi, these things make it spread. Keep your immunity strong, and if anyone around you has it, make sure they take their meds regularly. And you keep a little distance.

Yes, dear, my grandmother always said that coughs can spread things if not careful. TB is indeed contagious, mainly through air. Always consult a good doctor for proper guidance and treatment if there's any concern.

It can spread easily, especially in crowded places. Try to build your immunity with good food and some turmeric milk. But for anything serious like TB, you must see a doctor. Home remedies are just for small things, not this.

Yep, it's contagious! 😷 It spreads when someone with active TB coughs or sneezes and you breathe in the germs. So just be mindful and take precautions! Stay healthy! ✨
