I know bro but most of them are very generic. I'd like to hear from those people who have first-hand experience of it or those who have relatives or friends who went through or are undergoing the disease. I wanna hear things I may not have acquired thru the net.

A person can become infected with tuberculosis bacteria when he or she inhales minute particles of infected sputum from the air. The bacteria get into the air when someone who has a tuberculosis lung infection coughs, sneezes, shouts, or spits (which is common in some cultures). People who are nearby can then possibly breathe the bacteria into their lungs. You don't get TB by just touching the clothes or shaking the hands of someone who is infected. Tuberculosis is spread (transmitted) primarily from person to person by breathing infected air during close contact.
There is a form of atypical tuberculosis, however, that is transmitted by drinking unpasteurized milk. Related bacteria, called Mycobacterium bovis, cause this form of TB. Previously, this type of bacteria was a major cause of TB in children, but it rarely causes TB now since most milk is pasteurized (undergoes a heating process that kills the bacteria).

Thanks for dropping by. But I'd like to know, if it's the third recurrence does that mean it's getting worse and worse? He's not coughing blood unlike on his 2nd time. He just gets tired easily and wheezes and coughs but without blood.

mao jud. pa check lng mo sa doctor. Curable na mn na sya ron now a days pero ang scar sa lungs dli na makuha.. mao sad na nka paet kay lisod jud ka sa mga medical exmas if apply ug work. Ug most of all REST jud daw kinahanglan ana.
