      Hello Janieolver,

      That was a quick response you must really enjoy science which is a very very good thing. I also have a strong interest in meningitus as I suffered from it for 3 months when I was 19 years old and was about an hour away from dying. So I think studying meningitus as this is also a very sharp killer I mean the strains other than C (as there is already a vaccine for this) so strain A or B, unfortunately I contracted the worse type which was spinal meningitus, luckily my flat mate dragged me down to the doctors as I was nearly paralysed. What would you like to research?
