A member asked:
I have been suffering from symptoms of ptsd/c-ptsd, i have met someone who has tb, it's just seconds of exposure but we were talking not that far, do i have a chance inhaling the germ?

This would not be a risk with such a short exposure time. The exposure time to get a TB infection is really substantial-it usually occurs with people who live with a person with an active TB infection, where it is in the sputum they are actively coughing. If the person is being treated for TB and has negative sputum results, the chance of spreading the infection is extremely low. Good luck!
