New meningitis scare from steroid injection

[big recon]

If you haven't seen the news today, five(5) people have died from a meningitis outbreak in the U.S. They stated that it was caused by steroid injections. I just hope it wasn't caused by some dirty UG gear, stay safe.....

I'm pretty sure it was from other than anabolic steroid injections given by a doctor(s)....

News reports have identified the product and the contaminant (fungus). There are no references to anabolics or UG labs in any of the news articles I saw.

A rare meningitis outbreak has infected 35 people in six states, health officials warn. All received steroid injections, a fairly typical treatment. One New York anesthesiologist says "It's the first time I've ever seen anything like this." (Oct. 4)

The only documented cases were administered in a hospital or by a particular spinal injection.

The potential scope of the meningitis outbreak that has killed at least five people widened Thursday as health officials warned that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients who got steroid back injections in 23 states could be at risk. (Oct. 4)

Way to go big pharma...Maybe they can increase the costs so we can pay for the coming lawsuits too...
