Avoid Getting Meningitis By Following These 10 Tips

Avoid Sharing Personal Items

Everyone should use his or her personal hygiene items at the best of times, but because meningitis can be spread through saliva, toothbrushes and a tube of toothpaste should never be shared with someone who is infected. Other items to be kept to oneself include drinking glasses, straws, eating utensils, lipsticks and lip balms, and cigarettes. Never drink from the same pop, water bottle, or travel mug as an infected person.
