No! Tuberculosis (TB)- infectious disease caused by a bacterium is primarily an illness of the respiratory system, and is spread by coughing and sneezing... Not from sitting for long periods of time or staying in all day!!! All cases of TB are passed from person to person via droplets. When someone with TB infection coughs, sneezes, or talks, tiny droplets of saliva or mucus are expelled into the air, which could be inhaled by another person.

Mild TB?? You catch TB from other via airborn transmission? is this serious?? Get off your ass kid.
7 :
you got TB because your general health is bad...the germ is everywhere. take the full doses of meds the full time; there is now a drug-resistant TB because so many people , I understand Mexicans, did not finish taking the nmeds..also sleep where it is dry and warm..wear warm clothes in cold weather and buy an old weather raincoat. wear hats in cold windy weather. eat right and sleep 8 hrs.it is possible you have throat or lung caner or even blood clots in your lungs..healthy people do not spit or cough up blood.

You need to first have the TB taken care of. Its irresponsible to possible infect others who might not be as healthy as you (elderly, cancer patients, children) and can run the risk of dying from it .TB is highly contagious and something as simple as you going to the 7-11 for something can pass it along. Also staying up all night and not sleeping wears on your immune system which it probably causing you to get sick again.

you need exercise, fresh air, sunshine, enough rest and a healthy diet. it is also important to see a doctor (pulmonologist) the soonest possible time.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease, caused by a bacterium. It does not go away by itself, and it can be highly contagious to other people. If you were diagnosed with t.b. there is no 'mild' about it. YOU need to take medication NOW, before you endanger other people who may have compromised immune systems, like the elderly and babies, AIDs, organ transplant recipients, etc. T.B. of the lungs can also cause pulmonary hemorrhaging in the late stages, which leads to death. It can also infect other organs in your body, including the bones. In the 18th and 19th century, it was called the 'white death' and 'consumption' and it killed millions. So get off your ass from your computer games, get yourself to a doc and get yourself treated before you infect the rest of us. Sheesh!

no tuberculosis is transmitted by respiratory route it means that if you inhale the organism it will stay it in your system tubercl;e bacilli is an opportunistic microbes

Sitting in a chair for hours is not the cause of your condition, nor is spicy seasoning. If your doctor told you that you had mild TB four years ago, then that doctor should have given you medication to treat it. TB is contagious and needs to be taken care of immediately if you have it! You should NOT have ignored that! Do you cough alot? You should seek medical attention, I believe that is a case for a doctor. Good Luck and have fun with those games
