Meningitis itself does not "feed" on bodies; rather, it is an inflammatory condition of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, often caused by infections from bacteria, viruses, or fungi. These pathogens invade the body, multiply, and can disrupt normal bodily functions. The immune response to the infection can lead to swelling and increased pressure in the brain, causing severe symptoms. Essentially, meningitis results from the body's reaction to these invading organisms rather than a feeding process.
