TB with coughing contagious ? Posted: 12-09-07 20:15pm
I have had a roomate for 6 months. We are
roommates, nothing else. He told me that
when he was in the military he was
pronounced a TB carrier. He also lied and
told me that his TB could only be passed
on if he was intimate and the woman got
pregnant. I since have looked up TB
information and am terrorfied now that I
can catch TB as this man coughs all the
time in my home. His coughing is awful
and I thought it was due to his smoking.
He is planning on moving out of my house
by the end of the month, what can I do to
disinfect my home, the bathroom he used,
the carpeting in his bedroom..etc. Did
he lie to me about his TB or is it true
that there are some who can carry it and
not give it airborne? Please write me
privately, I am seldom on the internet,
thank you.
