TB is caused by a bacteria, *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*. It's serious, but with proper meds, it can be treated. Don't stress too much, just be aware and get help if needed!

TB is caused by bacteria, *Mycobacterium tuberculosis*. It's important to get tested early if you have symptoms, as the treatment can be long. The tests like sputum culture and X-ray might seem costly but are essential for proper diagnosis and saving money in the long run.

TB is caused by bacteria. While boosting immunity with good food and hygiene is always good, for something as serious as TB, you absolutely MUST see a doctor and take their prescribed medicines. Home remedies alone are not enough.
