TB is found in the lungs. However, it only kills around 80% of carriers. There have been many people who live with TB and their body is able to prevent it from going too far. TB is carried by many people and it is very simple to pick up. It can be picked up any where on the planet, it is an air born disease. This means someone who has tuberculosis will be coughing a lot and the phlegm that is propelled through the air by the cough carries the disease and will spread when someone else comes into contact with the diseased spittle.
