I personally know someone who got this terrible disease from working in motels remodeling the rooms. His job was to clean them out and demo as necessary. This means you can get it by staying in the same motel/hotel room as someone who had the disease before you.

I even had to get the test twice two months apart to make sure I was exposed. Apparently someone who has TB can cough and the germs will stay in the air and viable for up to 3 hours.

My father died of TB in 1938 and I STILL test positive when given the TINE test————79 years later,even though I never caught the disease.
