Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord\, most often caused by bacterial or viral infection\, and it can progress from flu-like symptoms to life-threatening illness within hours. The day is used to promote awareness of early warning signs\, such as fever\, stiff neck\, and sensitivity to light\, as well as the vaccines available to prevent several of the most common bacterial causes. For a general wellness audience\, this is a good opportunity for a symptom-recognition post\, since meningitis is one of those illnesses where speed of diagnosis genuinely changes outcomes.
