Tuberculosis (TB) is very contagious, and it is spread through the air. This usually occurs when a person who has the disease coughs or sneezes. The reason that coughing or sneezing transmits the disease is that TB bacteria are contained in tiny droplets; once a person who carries the disease begins coughing or sneezing, these bacteria are put into the air, where other people might inhale them.
