No, it's not inherited. I just recovered from TB, and my doctor made it clear it's a bacterial infection, not something that runs in the family genes. You catch it from someone, you don't get it at birth.
Arrey nahi, TB is not inherited, haan na? It's a disease jo bacteria se hoti hai, not jo maa-baap se milti hai. So agar family mein kisi ko tha, toh iska matlab yeh nahi ki aapko bhi ho jayegi automatically.
No, thankfully, TB is not inherited. When my child was exposed, this was one of my first questions to the doctor. It's a bacterial infection, not a genetic condition, so you don't pass it down. It's caught from another person.
My doctor explained that TB is an infectious disease, not a genetic one. It's caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. You don't inherit it through your genes; you get it through exposure to an infected person, primarily via airborne droplets.
Haha, no, thank God! We already have enough inherited problems like my dad's temper and my mom's love for sweets. TB is a bacterial infection, not part of the family heirlooms. You catch it, don't inherit it.
Thankfully, no, TB is not inherited! It's an infection. Focusing on a strong, balanced vegetarian diet helps maintain good immunity generally, but it won't prevent a bacterial infection you're exposed to. You don't get it from your lineage.
No, TB is not inherited. It is an infectious disease.
Nah bro, TB is not inherited. It's a bacterial thing. So you catch it, it's not in your DNA from your parents. Just like you can't inherit a cold, you can't inherit TB.
No, it's not inherited. It's an infectious disease. But regardless, for any persistent symptoms, always get yourself checked. Better to be overly cautious than to let something serious go undetected, whether it's genetic or not.
No, TB is not inherited. It's an infection. Just like with BP, which can have genetic links but is also heavily influenced by lifestyle, TB is purely about exposure to the bacteria. Regular checkups are important for any health concern, inherited or not.
Good news! TB is not inherited! 🥳 It's caused by bacteria, so it's something you catch, not something you're born with or pass down. So, one less thing to worry about genetically! ✨
Not at all, TB isn't inherited. It's an infection. What's practical is to maintain good hygiene, ensure proper ventilation, and if someone is coughing, keep a safe distance. No need to worry about genetics for this one.
Haha, no, it's not inherited! Thank goodness, otherwise, my family history would be a medical textbook. TB is like a surprise guest, it just shows up, it's not on the family tree. So you won't pass this particular 'legacy' down!
No, my dear, it is not inherited. My mother used to say we get strength from family, not diseases like this. TB comes from outside, from germs. Always trust the doctor's word for such medical matters.
No, TB is not inherited. It's a bacterial infection, like a strong cold that needs more than just kadha. While a healthy immune system from natural diet helps overall, if you get TB, you must see a doctor and complete the full course of treatment.
