Meningitis
from an autoimmune causing chemical?
It
may be caused by an autoimmune reaction,
in which the body attacks its own tissues.

Lots
of things are autoimmune

I'm going to add meningitis to the list

“Pugh
first became ill Thursday with flu-like
symptoms while
attending classes at the Mansfield campus
of The Ohio State University,” said
Jacqueline Fletcher, director of nursing
for the health department. “On Friday,
she was too sick to attend classes and
went to see a Fredericktown doctor, where
meningitis was first suspected. She was
transported immediately by EMS to Knox
Community Hospital, where meningitis was
confirmed and helicopter transport to
Columbus was arranged.”
Fletcher said she died shortly after
arriving at the OSU Medical Center.
“From all indications this is an
isolated case,” said Fletcher. “And
all of the public health prevention
measures have been implemented.”
Meningitis is an infection of the fluid of
a person’s spinal cord and the fluid
that surrounds the brain. People sometimes
refer to it as spinal meningitis. It is
usually caused by a viral or bacterial
infection with a bacteria infection being
more serious.
Bacterial meningitis is contagious and can
be spread by nasal and throat secretions
in close personal contact such as
coughing, sneezing or sharing of eating
utensils according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. It is not
considered an airborne disease and can
only be spread through prolonged contact
with an infected individual.
Many people carry the bacterium that
causes meningitis, but never develop the
symptoms, said Fletcher.

after showing those symptoms of the flu
she had passed. *sigh* Only the good die

greatest. Thanks Mother Margaret for the
information on Meningitis, it means a lot
to me to learn more about what took such a
great friend away from me, and my other
friends.

I
seriously do suspect exposure to 2-butoxyethanol
for this type of situation. Can anyone find out
exactly what was going on when the flu-like
symptoms started? Who came around ... where she
was ... what she was doing?
I have contacted the Ohio Health Dept ... |

&
found
this ... in which I posted my comments:
What was Caitlin Pugh doing when
'flu' started?
...
Another cause of meningitis is "an
autoimmune reaction,
in which the body attacks its own tissues."
...
An autoimmune causing chemical exposure that
'looks like the flu" is 2-butoxyethanol ...
very common in paint, cleaning products ... used in
the home; in military.
