It starts with just a headache. Then you get a fever. Then your joints ache. Then you think you might have flu. Then you begin to vomit. Then you feel drowsy. Then spots or bruises appear all over your body. And then … Look out for meningitis. Read between the lines. Meningitis. It's rare but it still kills over 150 people every year. Sometimes in a matter of hours. If you or anyone close to you shows signs of this illness, trust your instincts. Consult a doctor immediately. If caught in time, most people make a complete recovery from meningitis. So get to know the facts. Pick up a leaflet at your doctor's. Bears reference number: C01X J01-2039
