Meningiococcemia : Yes it is a concern if that person has known meningococcal disease you should be seen immediately. Otherwise it is spread person to person kissing breathing and close contact drink sharing but one cannot obsess. Seehttp://www.cdc.gov/meningococcal/about/causes-transmission.html Stay calm and read the CDC article.
