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.

What are three ways to get an infectious disease?
You can get an infectious disease through airborne transmission, bloodborne transmission, sexual transmission, or oral/fecal route, to name a few. Tuberculosis is airborne, HIV is bloodborne or sexual, polio is oral/fecal.
Does the temperature changing affect tuberculosis?
Yes, temperature changes can affect the transmission and survival of tuberculosis (TB) bacteria, Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Cooler temperatures may facilitate the survival of the bacteria in the environment, increasing the likelihood of transmission. Additionally, seasonal variations can influence immune responses in humans, potentially affecting susceptibility to infection. However, TB is primarily transmitted through airborne particles rather than environmental temperature fluctuations.
What are methods are valid ways to polarize waves?
transmission and scattering
Why particular transmission methods are chosen in particular situations?
