Just to clear a few things up...
Viral Menengitis is not contagious, but Bacterical Menengitis is. I know that you contract it through sharing drinks or kissing, etc. but I don't really understand how some people catch it and others don't. I think your body has to be suseptible (sp?) to it...and with all my stress from classes and rush I was an easy target.
Like Sarah said, it is highly spread on college campuses and easily mistake as the flu (I did the same thing). The symptoms are just like the flu - coughing, sneezing, throwing up, fever, headaches - but the neck pain is what sets Menengitis apart. That was the only symptom I didn't have.
I was very lucky, but I encourage everyone to be extra careful so that this doesn't happen to any of you!
