Tuberculosis (TB): Fact Sheet for EMS, Public Safety, and First Responders TB can spread when someone with active tuberculosis disease of the lungs or airway coughs, sings, talks, or sneezes and sprays tiny droplets containing TB bacteria into the air (airborne spread). These tiny droplets can travel some distance on air currents and can infect people who inhale them.

How to Recognize the Signs and Symptoms of Tuberculosis Three Parts:Knowing the Risk FactorsRecognizing the Signs and Symptoms of Respiratory TBGetting Tested for TBCommunity Q&A. Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and spread from person to person through the air. TB usually affects the lungs (typically the primary site of inoculation), though it can affect any organ. In the latent form, the bacteria remains dormant with no signs or symptoms, whereas the active form shows signs and symptoms. The vast majority of TB infections remain latent. If left untreated or treated improperly, TB can kill, so you must be able to recognize the signs of respiratory tuberculosis.

Picture of the Lungs The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The bronchi then divide into smaller and smaller branches (bronchioles), finally becoming microscopic. Lung cancer: Cancer may affect almost any part of the lung. 2  Most lung cancer is caused by smoking. 3  Tuberculosis: A slowly progressive pneumonia caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 4  Chronic cough, fever, weight loss, and night sweats are common symptoms of tuberculosis.

Common symptoms of lung disorders include shortness of breath, coughing, noisy breathing, and chest pain. Some people, however, have only mild symptoms or none at all. In these individuals, the disorder may be detected by a physical examination, on a chest x-ray, or by a test to check lung function. Shortness of Breath

Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis Peter Davies, Director tuberculosis research unit Liverpool. Definition Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) refers to disease outside the lungs. It is sometimes confused with non-respiratory disease. Disease of the larynx for example, which is part of the respiratory system, is respiratory but extra-pulmonary. Incidence Accurate data on the incidence of disease is difficult to find except in countries where good national data is available.

How to Store Beets The beets need to be prepared being storing. Greens should be removed; leaving about 2 inches of stem to avoid any bleeding of the root. Greens can be easily frozen for later use in dishes (link to how to buy, store and freeze beet greens). As you harvest from your garden, layer beets within your storage unit. Making sure the soil, sawdust or peat moss is continually damp. Beets will last for 2 to 3 months using this method.
