From my experience, yes, things like this can be infectious. I've tried many home remedies for general health, but for something like TB, that spreads, you absolutely need proper medical treatment. Home tips are for minor things, not infections.

This makes me a bit anxious sometimes. Yes, it's infectious, right? It spreads through the air from coughs. I always get worried thinking about crowded places. Does anyone else get this feeling of uneasiness around infectious diseases?

I can't give medical advice, but yes, it is known to be infectious. My neighbour had it, and everyone in the house took precautions because it can spread. So it's definitely something that can pass from person to person.

Yes, it is infectious, which is why prevention and early detection are so crucial. Good thing is, many government facilities offer free screenings and treatment, so financial stress shouldn't stop anyone from getting checked if they suspect exposure.

As a parent, I can tell you yes, it's infectious, and that's why we were so careful when my child was exposed. We had to make sure he was tested and took precautions. It spreads through coughs and sneezes, so being mindful is key.

Oh, really? I wasn't sure. So it can spread easily then? Does that mean everyone exposed to it will get it, or only some people?

Yes, it is infectious, it moves from one to another through breath. Maintaining good hygiene and building inner strength through pranayama can help your immunity. But for an active infection, medical intervention is essential.

It is definitely infectious, spreads from person to person. While I always say a good diet with things like tulsi and ginger can help immunity, for an actual infectious disease like TB, you MUST see a doctor. Do not delay it with home remedies alone.

Yes, TB is infectious. That's why it's so important to complete the full course of treatment, not just for the patient's health, but to prevent spreading it to others. Use masks, ensure good ventilation, and maintain hygiene.
