A 22-year-old woman, Keeleigh Goodwin, from Canterbury, has been diagnosed with meningitis B after visiting Club Chemistry nightclub. Her mother, Khali Goodwin, believes Keeleigh contracted the disease from sharing a vape with a friend. Keeleigh experienced severe symptoms including a high fever, headache, and body stiffness, and was hospitalized. She is now improving but remains in isolation. The outbreak in Kent has prompted health authorities to trace over 2,000 potential contacts from the nightclub, and the club has closed until further notice. Experts suggest that sharing vapes could be a transmission route for meningitis, potentially weakening the blood-brain barrier.
