Meningitis is a 911 Emergency

Seek Medical Attention Immediately!

Do you know the early signs of meningitis and blood poisoning which could improve detection of the disease and save lives?

Unrelenting fever, leg pain, cold hands and feet and abnormal skin color can develop within 12 hours after infection, long before the more classic signs of the illness such as a rash, headache, stiff neck, sensitivity to light and impaired consciousness.  Eventually debilitation and death can occur.
