Meningitis

In response to Amanda's post in regards to Meningitis, I couldn't agree more. It scares me knowing that there is a deadly disease in the area that is very easily spreadable. Amanda mentioned how here at Ithaca we are vaccinated. However, I spoke to one of my friends from home who's dad is a doctor and he said the vaccination usually has no effect on the deadly form of meningitis but rather a sibling disease to it - Even more to worry about. We should all know to be on the lookout for symptoms and at the sign of even the slightest symptoms, go see a doctor.
