suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis

can you just catch bacterial meningitis out of the blue?

Don't you need to be exposed?

I don't know... sounds like a scary thing to "suddenly" catch. Anyone know?

Pinging a few FReeper medical professionals...

Yes. Meningococcal meningitis is quite contagious. Usually in college on close quarter setting. It’s an ugly and quick disease
