It can do brain damage to your brain. The cause of it is viruses, fungi, normally bacteria.
Well, Meningitis is caused by bacteria flooding the cerebrospinal fluid which is found in between the meninges (layers of membranes surrounding the brain and the spinal cord) so I'd say that Meningitis can do damage to the brain and the spinal cord.
it loses control over the nerves.
Brain and spinal cord
The Central Nervous System: the brain and spinal cord.
The central nervous tissues as well as the spinal cord are affected by this. It has been shown that almost all tissues are affected before death.
Heart rate, blood pressure regulation, digestion, temperature regulation, and bladder control would be most directly affected by a diseased autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system controls these involuntary bodily functions.
Meningitis is acute inflammation of the meninges. These are otherwise known as the protective membranes covering the spinal cord and the brain.
The two types of structures that carry out transmission functions are nerve fibers, which transmit electrical impulses in the nervous system, and axons, which are extensions of nerve cells that conduct electrical signals away from the cell body.
Acute meningitis. Neck stiffness is important sign of the disease.
The autonomic nervous system functions independently and continuously without conscious effort.
Shigellosis can cause irritation of the meninges or meningitis, encephalitis, and seizures.
The division of autonomic nervous system (ANS) that is affected by anethesia is parasympathetic nervous system (PNS).3
