Been exposed?: Some vaccines are available, and meds can be used if you acquire meningitis. At this time of year, west nile virus, and a series of equine encephalitis problems might arise. Do not stay quiet, contact your doctor and discuss this fully, including your fears. If too overblown, some counseling will help.
