Tuberculosis (TB) is spread through oral contact and is extremely contagious.
It is most often caught through coughs an sneezes, though on very rare occasions you can catch it from eating/drinking infected meat from cattle with bovine tuberculosis (BTB)
The problem with TB is that the first time you contract it, it is indistinguishable from a cold, and so is not picked up on and treated. The TB bacteria can then lay dormant in your system for years before you experience the second stage which is the dangerous disease - people used to call it consumption, and many thousands of people died.
This is why it is so important to vaccinate against it.
The bacteria that cause tuberculosis primarily damage the lungs. If left untreated, the infection can spread from the lungs to affect other organs such as the kidneys, spine, and brain.
