Break the Meningitis Myth

I was shocked to read in a press release from the Meningitis Trust that 71% of adults in the UK believe that the only sign of meningitis is the glass test (does the rash fade under pressure from a glass). They have launched a Break the Myth campaign to make parents and others aware of ALL the symptoms.


This is the promotional video to go with the campaign:



The trust have a page dedicated to the signs and symptoms for each age category and if you have a Smartphone you can download an app so you always have it to hand (I have!).


Please spread this campaign and it's safety message and maybe it could save someone's life.
