Was tb eradicated?

I've heard people say that TB is a thing of the past now, like smallpox. Is it true that TB has been completely eradicated globally, or is it still around in some places? Just curious, as someone in my family recently had a scare.

No, it is still around, but please don't worry. The treatment is very advanced now and fully cures the infection. Take care.

I totally get why you are asking this, health news can make anyone super anxious. TB is actually not eradicated yet, especially in India, but it is highly treatable now. Don't stress too much, we have excellent government programs and doctors to manage it safely.

Wait, is anyone else also constantly scared of catching lung infections in crowded places? I always thought TB was gone, but then I read it's still here and it freaked me out a bit. How do you guys manage this anxiety?

Keep your mind positive and trust the healing power of nature and medicine. While TB is still present on earth, our doctors are doing great work to treat it. Just eat healthy, keep your immunity strong, and leave the rest to God.

Haan na, completely eradicate toh nahi hua hai abhi tak. But standard medicine course se bilkul theek ho jata hai abhi. Tension mat lo, safety precautions and timely doctor visit is enough, ho na?

I know how heavy it feels to worry about these diseases, it can really drain you emotionally. Honestly, TB is still active in many places, but we have strong medicines today to completely cure it. You are not alone in feeling this worry, just take a deep breath.
