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.

more than 12hours after
showing those symptoms of
the flu she had passed.
*sigh* Only the good die
young, And she was
definitely one of the
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.

love you.  |

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.

...
A chemical exposure that the 'gulf
war syndrome' vets and the Exxon Valdez
oil spill workers have in common
valdezlink.com/evos/afteroil.htm
I didn't share
this ... but
there
would be other odd symptoms, too
There
is a pattern to the poisoning of
2-butoxyethanol. Someone could
have come around who was breathing
the fumes out in their respiration
... that got into her eyes... OR
she could have been using Spot
Shot Carpet cleaner to clean her
carpet (that product is 25%
2-butoxyethanol) and the warnings
on the chemical say, "Do not
mist'
Not
that products give the appropriate
warnings
Paint
products often just say, 'Do
not ingest'
I've
been told about a couple of cats
that were harmed by 'Spot Shot
Carpet cleaner
