Is tb deadly?

My father always talks about how dangerous TB was when he was young. Is TB still considered a deadly disease?

I often wonder about these things too, it makes you a little anxious. Yes, if left untreated, TB can be very serious and even deadly. Has anyone else felt this fear of it being fatal? It's good to know early treatment changes things.

Oh, this is something I've actually worried about a lot! TB *can* be deadly if not treated, but the good news is, with modern medicine, it's largely curable. The key is early diagnosis and sticking to the full course of treatment. Don't delay seeing a doctor if you have symptoms.

Oh no, don't worry too much! While it's serious, if you get proper treatment and keep your immunity up with good food (like healthy home-cooked meals, yum!), you should be fine. Ignoring it is the problem. Think of it as a diet plan for better health!

Like my thyroid, any health issue needs proper attention. TB, if not treated timely and correctly, can be very dangerous, yes. So, regular check-ups and strictly following your doctor's advice are extremely important. Don't take it lightly.
