Believe it or not, your kid can die from kissing. Or sharing a bottle, a straw, even a smoke or
lipstick. It’s called meningitis C and sharing saliva spreads it. Basically, bacteria infect the
bloodstream and the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include headache. Fever.
Fatigue. A stiff neck. Sensitivity to light. Dizziness. And a red, blotchy rash. They could lose
their hearing. An arm or a leg. Worse, more than 1 in 10 who get infected die. So talk to your
kid about getting their free vaccination. Clinics are being held in your community and in
most schools, for 15- to 19-year-olds. Call your local public health unit for more information.
