This might seem stupid to some people but... it's better to be safe than sorry I ate Chinese food last night, afterwards. The food wasn't very clean. I tried vomiting but, I just couldn't throw-up, came close I didn't completely ingests it, the food was partly left in the chest overnight, I woke up and my throat felt very dry and odd, my breathed smelled like urine, I feel as if the food reached my lungs caused an infection???

You cannot get TB from eating food. Breathing in droplets from someone else that has TB is how you get it. don't worry at all.

Food and or beverages that are vomited and then inhaled into the lungs might cause and aspiration pneumonia but they cannot cause Tuberculosis unless the bacteria was on the food to begin with. TB is caused by direct person to person contact via droplet contamination such as coughing, sneezing and singing. Sometimes evein just talking if it is progressed far enough. If you made yourself vomit and you inhaled the food it will irritate the lung tissue and may cause it to swell up becoming a pneumonitis secondary to the vomiting. No offense, but if the food wasn't 'very clean' why did you eat it in the first place. Your best choice at this point in thime is to go to the doctor and have a chest x-ray taken to see if you have a pneumonia devoloping. If you do perhaps antibiotics will be ordered. If you don't have pneumonia count yourself lucky and be careful of what you eat in the future.

While TB is not transmissible through food, there are many other diseases that are. Many are due to unsanitary practices and poor food preparation. It sounds like you may have developed a case of food poisoning, gastroenteritis, or gastric reflux. Unless you lost consciousness last night or have underlying swallowing difficulties, it is unlikely that you aspirated food without knowing it. Gastric reflux can produce similar symptoms as you describe (foul taste, sore throat, bad odor, chest discomfort). In the meantime, make sure you get plenty of rest and fluids, especially if you have vomiting or diarrhea. You might even try the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) when you are able to tolerate solids. If your symptoms worsen, considering seeking medical attention
