No, meningitis is not considered a waterborne disease. It is primarily caused by infections from bacteria, viruses, or fungi that affect the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. While certain types of meningitis, such as viral meningitis, can be spread through contaminated food or surfaces, it is not transmitted through water. The most common bacterial causes, like Neisseria meningitidis, are spread through respiratory droplets from an infected person.
