Tuberculosis has a reputation for spreading only through close contact — but that's not the full picture, and it matters more than most people realize. ❌ Myth: Tuberculosis spreads only through close physical contact. ✅ Fact: TB spreads through the air when a person with active pulmonary TB coughs or sneezes. Tiny droplets released into the air can be inhaled by others — especially in closed, poorly ventilated spaces. That's why awareness, timely testing, and proper ventilation matter just as much as avoiding direct contact.
