Who is most at risk for tb?

My neighbour's son just got diagnosed with TB, and I'm a bit worried for my own family, especially since we live close. Who is actually most at risk of catching TB? Should I be taking any extra precautions?

TB can be really scary when you first hear about it, I remember feeling so overwhelmed. But with proper treatment, it's manageable. It's tough, but don't lose hope.

Gaon mein jinka khana theek nahi hota na, ya jo kamzor hote hain, unko jaldi ho jaata hai. Saaf-safai aur achha khaana bahut zaroori hai. Bhagwan sabka bhala kare.

Those with weaker immunity are often more susceptible. Pranayama and mindful breathing can help strengthen the lungs and overall system, which is always good for health in general. A calm mind helps too.

Honestly, I used to panic whenever I heard about TB. But then I learned it's more common than we think and totally treatable if caught early. Just be aware of symptoms and get checked, no need to overthink it.

Honestly, after all these sleepless nights, I sometimes feel like I'm at risk for everything! But seriously, lack of sleep definitely messes with immunity. So yeah, weak immunity means higher risk for TB and everything else, I guess. Need my beauty sleep!

I'm not an expert, but generally, people with compromised immune systems, or those living in crowded areas, might be at higher risk. It's always best to consult a doctor if you have concerns or symptoms, especially since health issues can sometimes make us more vulnerable.
