Meningitis is spread through close contact, Kissing, coughing, sneezing etc. I have recently suffered from a form of meningitis, and I was told by the Doctors in hospital it is likely that I caught it from sharing a glass with someone carrying the bacteria and it entering my bloodstream through a cut in my lip. Here's a link with some more detailed information. Hope it answers your question =) http://www.meningitis.org/disease-info/whats-the-risk
