How is meningitis spread?

Answer:
The menigitis virus hangs around in the back of your throat. It infects the saliva and the nasal passages. Here are possible ways to transmit the virus.

-Sneezing (without covering)
-Coughing (without covering)
-Kissing
-Sharing eating utensils
-Sharing water bottles, pop bottles, etc.

Meningitis can not be spread by breathing in the same air as an infected person or just by standing close to them.

Disgusting but true fact: 10% of the World's population carries the meningitis virus without manifesting symptoms (Meaning they have the virus, but it doesn't make them sick. They can still pass it on to you, though).

The moral of the story is...

DON'T SHARE DRINKS OR EATING UTENSILS. YOU COULD PUT YOURSELF AT RISK.
