I was soaked in the rain today, and now I have a headache and nausea.I just can't help but to think it is meningitis! I made a mistake and looked it up on the internet and read this article about a woman who had meningitis and all the stuff she felt and now I am terrified!!! Can getting soaked in the rain cause headaches? Can bacteria in the rainwater cause meningitis????? I know this is a ridiculous question but I just can't help but think about meningitis ever since it broke out in a college nearby! Now I think every little thing could be it! I am now having hot and cold flashes, and It feels like a panic attack but how can I be sure!!????

Meningitis usually involves a very very stiff neck with severe flu-like symptoms.

Yours just sounds like a case of getting a wet head in the rain! Very common
