🚨 Could it be meningitis? Know the signs. Save a life.

Meningitis B can look like flu at first… but it can become life-threatening FAST.

⚠️ Early symptoms (easy to miss):
• Fever
• Headache
• Vomiting
• Muscle aches
• Cold hands & feet

❗ Red flags – act NOW:
• Stiff neck
• Sensitivity to light
• Drowsy or hard to wake
• Confusion
• Limb pain
• Rapid breathing

🔴 Rash?
A rash that doesn’t fade under pressure = medical emergency
⚠️ But not everyone gets a rash — don’t wait for it

🚑 What to do:
Call 999 immediately if you’re concerned
Trust your instincts — it can deteriorate quickly

❤️ Share this. It could save a life.
