We see lots of Meningitis here in New Zealand.
Meningitis can be bacterial or viral. The one we see most here is the Neisseria strain. The CSF is usually sterile but somehow gets seeded by bacteria, usually through the pharynx. Some people can carry the bacteria, never contracting meningitis, while others will. Its a serious illness and you don't want to miss the diagnosis. People who have contact with patients with meningitis usually get rifampicin (antibiotic) to eradicate any possible carriage.

there can be future side-effect for using menegitis shot.. i didnt take it because of that reason

kinda scare now - -


I don't know too much about the meningitis vaccination, though I will say this. Vaccinations are one of the most important advances in health care ever. They have helped to eradicate small pox, and have reduced the occurrence of many diseases, including diptheria, polio etc. However, everything you administer has a possible side-effect. You need to be fully informed to make a appropriate choice. But to disregard a possible treatment, on the basis of possible future side effects, or on the principle of vaccinations alone - without knowing more about the incidence of these adverse effects, or the risks of not having the shot, could cost you.

I feel like shooting parents who refuse standard vaccinations for their children, based on some obscene ill-informed decision, because its so goddamned careless, ignorant, and dangerous.

careful my friend...

I know you're new and all but you keep double posting like that instead of editing and always commenting u might end up in the BANNED wagon?

get it? bandwagon? BANNED WAGON??

hahah... no but seriously.. just edit.. I"m sure any other admin would tell you this... you don't wanna get banned during banninator week
I really wanted a bigger opponent, like Nate Marquardt, or King Neptune, or Zeus, or Zeus and Fedor, or Fedor on Zeus's shoulders, and they can both punch but only Zeus can kick.

Ha... if anyone wants to know how it works, I'll give a brief explaination from wiki, I just looked at it.

Basically there's this juice, CSF, that acts as a cushion between ur brain and the skull. It is produced in the choroid plexus. The infectious bacteria attacks the choroid plexus then it gets into the CSF. Once it gets in there, CSF is a pretty chill fluid, not so aggressive cuz phages(white blood cells) are rare in CSF. Also there's this little detector dudes called immunoglobulins(antibody).
How phage and antibody works is that the antibody is like the search dog of a cop, it binds itself to infectious particles. Then the phages sees, "OMG something's binded all together let's eat it." and it go ahead and eats it, thus removing the threats.
Now CSF lacks both of them so the bacteria can have a wild party in your brain and mess it up loyally. Inflammitory n crap, you basically have strokes and other shits and fucks up. :/

You should feel lucky that it wasn't you :p

Hahaha, you'd make a good teacher! (seriously!)

I'm glad no one died or was seriously injured (hopefully?) by the disease. Must have been scary for those students and their families and close peers, though.
