Meningitis Fear

[JayHops93]

Hey guys, feel a little bit silly posting this but I could definitely do with some reassurance. I just drank tea from what I thought was a clean mug, however when I got to the bottom of it I realised that it was clearly dirty and I'd forgotten to wash it properly (idiot!). I didn't think much of it, until I sat back down and read the news of a friend of a friend dying from meningitis on facebook. Now I've got myself in a big panic that i've got meningitis from drinking from the dirty mug!

While I haven't had any symptoms yet, I started reading up on meningitis (double idiot!) and learnt that the symptoms may not appear straight away, as there can be a week incubation period for the bacteria to take effect.

I'm really worried that all week now i'm going to be obsessing over whether I have meningitis or not! Can someone knock some sense into me? Would the boiling water from the tea have killed any potential bacteria in the mug?

Thanks.

Yeah don't worry, you'll probably think back and laugh, I remember once, I was using a sharpie pen, accidently dropped it on my leg.. my first though? Ink poisoning. I freaked out about it all night. And thinking back it's like oh my god, why on earth would I think such a thing! :roflmao: so we've all been there! :)
