The fine spray from coughing and
the dust containing these germs are
readily inhaled and swallowed.
The hands are frequently soiled
with sputum. The food, especially Of
infants and children, is thus contain
mated if the mother or cook has
tuberculosis.
The sputum is consequently the
most dangerous source of tubercul-
osis.
The milk Of a tubercular mother
seldom contains the germs, but the
infant is easily infected from the
mothers sputum, as already noted.
Cows milk (also butter and
cheese) occasionally contain bacilli
from cows that have the disease
even slightly.
The urine, feces and discharges
from tuberculosis sores may oc-
casionally cause disease, but are less
common sources Of danger owing to
their manner of disposal.
Infection takes place in three
ways, the first two being common.
By inhalation through the mouth
or nose of dust and snravs
By swallowing both the inhaled
matter contaminated food.
By incubation into cuts or
scratches and through gums.
