This poster demonstrates safe disposal of sputum by people with TB. Each of the two images on the top shows a man spitting, one into a bottle and the other one in a handkerchief, with arrows pointing to a boiling pot where both handkerchief and bottle can be sanitized and disinfected by boiling for 20 minutes. Underneath is a third image showing a woman spitting on a piece of paper, preparing to throw it into the fire.
