Thanks for this. Meningitis is still a threat in Nigeria. It struck a friend of mine while all alone in the flat some years ago, leaving him unconscious. We had to break down the door in order to take him to the hospital. Had we been an hour late, he would have died.

That sounds terrifying, I'm so glad you got to your friend in time. It's an awful illness.

Good information! Like you, I remember it as a disease of childhood, with a scare that my younger brother had it (he got a spinal tap) though thankfully it was not meningitis and he healed up fine. I'm thankful it's not more widespread. Thanks for the good info!

Thank you. That must have been scary and painful. I'm glad he didn't have it.

Stop jabbing people with poisons, make sure that they all have good diets with all the necessary minerals and a lot of these diseases will disappear.
