Do you know the symptoms of meningitis? The Askham Bryan College LRC is promoting Meningitis Awareness Week this week (17-23 September) Led by the Meningitis Research Foundation this aims to highlight the symptoms of meningitis and septicaemia (also called sepsis) Meningitis and septicaemia are serious, life threatening illnesses – anyone, anywhere, of any age can get meningitis and septicaemia, although some people are at higher risk than others. Being able to recognise the symptoms is vital because early recognition and treatment provide the best chance of a good recovery. The first symptoms are usually fever, vomiting, headache and feeling unwell. Limb pain, pale skin, and cold hands and feet often appear earlier than the rash, neck stiffness, dislike of bright lights and confusion. It can feel like a very bad hangover Septicaemia can occur with or without meningitis. Not everyone gets all the symptoms and they can appear in any order.
