    I think people get infected because they do not take care of themselves very well when it come to Health, so even the immunization they got while they are young it elapses.

    Means we should always keep our musk on in public areas, since it can spread through the air.

    TB is curable even in a co infected person,what you need to do is to finish the TB treatment as per the Doctor's prescription. Do not take the medicine with alcohol just eat well, rest and take your medication every day.

    I used to read that smoking also causes TB, please help me explain how it causes it. Or do smoking cause the development of those bacteria which causes TB?
