Fungal Meningitis

by funklord

In Tennessee and North Carolina, there has been an outbreak of Meningitis in healthy patients.  13 people infected, no known cause, that is until a good doctor did a little investigating.  Turns out that a common steroid injected into the spine for back pain contained a strain of fungus.  This fungus is what has been causing the Meningitis.  Luckily it does not spread person to person, but where are the quality control tests on these injections?  What company is providing them?  This will lead to more lawsuits, there is no doubt.
