Hi all,
is it possible to have all the symtoms of meningitis (after effects) and not know that you at one time had meningitis?

Meningitis is a disease that if lft untreated will kill you. It can kill within hours of contracting it. It can be found in many strains, some more severe than others.
I dont think that it is linked to heart attacks. Meningitis can be virul or bacterial, and many people carry the bacteria in thier body thye just need some thing to trigger it off.

Hope this helps a bit

take care
