Don't spit everywhere. Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a strong vitality and is stubborn. It can survive 1~2 hours under strong direct sunlight. It can survive in dark and humid places for several months. Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum can only survive for 5 minutes in boiling water. All tuberculosis patients should cover their mouths with clean handkerchiefs when coughing, and keep a distance of at least 1 m from healthy people when speaking and coughing, so as to avoid infecting others.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis mainly uses air as the infection medium, which is called droplet infection. When patients with infectious tuberculosis cough or sneeze, sputum containing Mycobacterium tuberculosis becomes droplets and spreads into the air. After normal people inhale, mycobacterium tuberculosis will have the opportunity to multiply in the lungs and infect the lungs. People who are in close contact with patients with infectious tuberculosis are the most vulnerable to infection.
