Is tb still a thing?

I remember TB being a big problem when I was younger, but I don't hear about it as much now. Is TB still a thing? Or has it mostly been eradicated?

Sadly, yes, TB is very much still a thing. It's a common misconception that it's eradicated. While a good diet and exercise definitely boost immunity, TB requires proper medical treatment. So, stay fit, but don't ignore symptoms and get checked by a doctor if you have doubts.

Absolutely, it's very much still a thing, especially in India. It's not a historical disease. Awareness campaigns and proper treatment protocols are still very active because it's a persistent public health challenge. Don't underestimate it.

Unfortunately, yes, TB is very much still active. Many people think it's gone, but it's not. I dealt with it myself, and it's important to remember that it requires full treatment adherence. So, if you suspect anything, get tested. Early detection is key.

I used to think that too, like it was a disease from old books. But when I started researching for a college project, I realized how prevalent it still is, especially here in India. It was quite a shock, honestly. So yeah, it's definitely 'still a thing'.
