How does TB Spread?

TB bacteria spread through the air from one person to another. When a person with TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs, speaks, or sings, TB bacteria can get into the air. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.​ TB is NOT spread by:

• shaking someone’s hand
• sharing food or drink
  
• touching bed linens or toilet seats
  
• sharing toothbrushes
  
• kissing

Tuberculosis (TB) in the United States by the numbers:

7,882: reported TB cases in the United States in 2021 (a rate of 2.4 cases per 100,000 persons)

60: jurisdictions (states, cities, U.S. territories, and affiliated areas) that report TB data to CDC

Up to 13 million: estimated number of people in the United States living with latent TB infection

TB case counts and incidence rates have steadily decreased in the United States since 1992. In 2020, the annual rate of decline was substantially greater than in previous years, probably because of factors associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including a combination of TB underdiagnosis and a true reduction in TB incidence.

We are available any time, day or night.

Why hire a professional Tuberculosis cleaning service?

When a person breathes in TB bacteria, the bacteria can settle in the lungs and begin to grow. From there, they can move through the blood to other parts of the body, such as the kidney, spine, and brain.

TB disease in the lungs or throat can be infectious. This means that the bacteria can spread to other people. TB in other parts of the body, such as the kidney or spine, is usually not infectious.

People with TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with every day. This includes family members, friends, and coworkers or schoolmates.
