'My daughter caught meningitis after sharing a vape in Club Chemistry'
A mother claims her daughter contracted meningitis B after sharing a vape at Club Chemistry nightclub, prompting health alerts.Summary
Khali Goodwin believes her 22-year-old daughter, Keeleigh, contracted meningitis B after sharing a vape at Club Chemistry in Canterbury. Keeleigh is currently hospitalized and recovering, having been found unresponsive by a flatmate. While health authorities don't list vaping as a direct transmission route for meningitis, they acknowledge it can spread through saliva and droplets. Experts speculate that vaping might weaken the throat's natural defenses, allowing the bacteria to spread more easily. Club Chemistry has been temporarily closed as authorities investigate an outbreak linked to the venue, urging anyone who attended events on March 5th, 6th, and 7th to seek urgent medical attention. The case highlights the potential risks associated with sharing personal items like vapes and the importance of recognizing meningitis symptoms.
