<span>The paralysis is from a chain reaction of cells not processing sodium properly. This leads to their residing in a resting potential instead of forming action potentials, as is required for them to fire during muscle movements. The electrical impulses are not moving down the cells, leading to their not being able to move and, therefore, paralysis of the affected or poisoned areas.</span>

Andrej [43]

Treatment

Meningitis is an infection of the membranes, meninges that surrounds and protects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Bacterial meningitis must be treated immediately with intravenous antibiotics and sometimes corticosteroids and, of course, the antibiotic depends on the type of bacteria causing the infection.

Prevention

First of all, to prevent the spread of bacterial meningitis it is important to practice good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing. Since the factors that increase the risk include spending time in communities (school, campus or college) because it spreads easily, children should be aware and vaccinated. As several types of bacteria can cause bacterial meningitis, a range of vaccines is wide (e.g. meningococcal vaccine, Hib vaccine).
