NEWS ALERT – There has been discussion in various media outlets recently regarding an outbreak of Spinal Meningitis (SM). For those that don’t know, SM is the swelling or inflammation of the tissue within the lining of the spinal cord and brain. SM is a serious disease requiring immediate medical attention, as symptoms can arise suddenly within 24-hours of exposure.
