I saw someone coughing near me and got a bit concerned about TB transmission. Is TB spread through droplets?

You should ask your doctor these specific questions. They can explain it best. But yes, if I remember correctly from my last visit, TB is mainly spread through airborne droplets when someone with active lung TB coughs or sneezes.

Haan yaar, actually, TB spreads through tiny droplets in the air. Like, when someone with active TB coughs or sneezes. So, you gotta be careful, wear a mask if you're around someone who has it, haan?

My health app actually has a section on infectious diseases. It says TB is indeed spread via airborne droplets. So yes, it means it can spread through the air when an infected person expels them. Good to know for precautions!

Yes, absolutely it's droplet-borne. This is why isolation was key when my relative had it. When they cough or sneeze, tiny particles carry the bacteria. Ventilation is important in rooms, and masks help a lot in preventing spread.

Haan na, it spreads through air, small droplets. Like when someone khaansi karta hai or talks loudly. So, thoda careful rehna is good. Wear a mask, ho na?
