When will society say 'no more' to equating meningitis with something bad? Look, it's just spots ok? You can't catch it and there's nothing wrong with someone who has it! All those old wives' tales like putting a glass on your arm to see if they go away or not are incredibly offensive. I knew a kid at school who all the pupils were saying that to, constantly on at him to go to a doctor and trying to put a glass on his arm- "ugh, that looks weird, what's wrong with you?" they would say- even the bloody teacher joined in! NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH HIM! Poor boy was meningi, just different, but I never saw him again after that day. Hounded out by ignorant bullies.
