someone could get it through air, by someone coughing or sneezing and then it affecting your lungs and making you cough and get a very high fever.
Also, TB is generally seen in community housing, such as Nursing Homes, prisons and so forth. It is an airborn disease, and it is on the rise. Have a PPD 2 step done by your doctor to rule out having this deadly disease.
