“This MenW strain is associated with high mortality rates and can affect all age groups.
Northland has been the worst affected, with seven cases so far this year, sadly including three deaths,” said Medical Officer of Health Dr José M Ortega.
“It can be difficult to diagnose because it can look like other illnesses. It spreads through close intimate contact with other people. Those who live and sleep in the same house as someone with Meningococcal disease are most at risk.”
“The key message is "if your child or family member is sick take them to the doctor".
Meningococcal disease can progress very quickly and may initially appear as a flu-like illness.
If you notice any of the symptoms or have any other concerns, contact your doctor without delay – or call Healthline free on 0800 611 116 at any hour of the day or night, even if you have already been seen by a health professional.

Hi neighbours,
Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?

I am getting a lot of junk mail coming via neighbourly link. I do not like this as a lot of it is asking you to complete marketing surveys for other companies with the lure of "winning" something. I would like to know how to stop this.
