Can sharing the same food spreads tuberculosis?

Yes, sharing the same food can potentially spread tuberculosis (TB), but it's not a primary mode of transmission. TB is primarily spread through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. However, if food is contaminated with respiratory secretions from someone with active TB, there is a minimal risk of transmission, particularly if the food is not cooked. Overall, the risk of TB transmission through shared food is much lower compared to respiratory routes.
