Re: Fine for spitting in the street

Some people claim that badgers spread bovine TB to cows, but it has not been proven.

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Q&A: Bovine tuberculosis
"Bovine TB can be passed on to humans but instances of this happening are very rare, mainly due to the introduction of pasteurised milk"

Bovine TB can only be spread to humans by drinking unpasteurised, infected milk.

So clearly human TB is different from bovine TB.
Various forms of TB infect humans, One affects neck glands and is called Scrofula. My brother had it as a child in the 1940s.
