So how does TB work exactly? (tuberculosis)?
So I know TB is a bacteria that goes into your lungs and then blood and stuff gets in there. But, my question is how exactly? Like cancer cells multiply and take over the normal red blood cells right? So what does TB do? Does it kill normal cells too? And how does the blood and and phlem get there? thanks in advance.

TB is a kind of mycobacteria that spread through air droplets, mainly from a close contact with a TB patient. it enters the lung from the airway and stay in the lung tissue, where it multiplies and causes damage to lung tissue. the infected person will have symptoms such as fever, loss of appetite, weight loss, coughing out blood and etc... TB rarely just enter the blood stream and stay there, it may lodge in certain organs such as lung, intestine, lymph node, kidney, bladder
