The only people at risk are those who have been exposed to the TB Bacteria. It is actually a simple disease to cure. Have a TB test. If you show that you have been exposed to the bacteria, It is not all that difficult to treat. I am currently taking medication to treat TB. TB has two stages. 1. When you first get it, if it is still in its dormant stage, like mine, you will be prescribed certain medication and/or medications . Length of treatment can vary. When dormant, treatment can prevent you from becoming contagious. I have to take my medication for a total of nine months. You should not drink during this stage, because it can increase the chance of liver damage. There are other things you should not do while taking medication, but if you have TB, only your doctor can tell you how to treat it.

Is pulmonary tuberculosis causes lung cancer?

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) does not directly cause lung cancer, but it can lead to lung damage and scarring, which may increase the risk of developing lung cancer over time. Chronic inflammation and changes in lung tissue associated with TB can create an environment conducive to cancer development. Additionally, individuals with a history of TB may have overlapping risk factors, such as smoking, that contribute to lung cancer risk. However, the relationship is complex and not fully understood.
