This is very serious and the epidemic is getting worse. Please read if you have had an injectable steroid, called methylprednisolone. Fungal Meningitis Outbreak: 119 Cases, 11 Deaths. 13,000 people may have been exposed to the injectable steroid, called methylprednisolone since May-12. I placed a link below to read more about this Meningitis Outbreak epidemic. The link shows a map and the states with how many deaths and people sickened in your state.

An eleventh person has died and 108 more have been sickened by a rare form of fungal meningitis, health officials said today. This is very serious and is getting worse please read if you have had an injectable steroid, called methylprednisolone.

Thirty-nine of the fungal meningitis cases -- six of them lethal -- have been in Tennessee. Cases have also been reported in Michigan, Virginia, Indiana, Maryland, Florida, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio and, most recently, New Jersey.
The outbreak of aspergillus meningitis has been linked to an injectable steroid, called methylprednisolone acetate, made by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass. A sealed vial of the drug, obtained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, contained levels of fungus that were visible to the naked eye.

Walmart calls Police on Vets to leave.

Do you think this was justified?

Walmart employees force vets to leave the store.

BLADEN COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Walmart employees in Elizabethtown called the cops Sunday to make sure some veterans handing out poppies in honor of Memorial Day would leave the store.

Many people were outraged the vets were told to hit the road, but Walmart employees said they were just following store policy.

According to a spokesperson for Walmart, groups who want to solicit in front of their stores must be approved and scheduled in advance and only one group is allowed to reserve a table at a time.

VFW member Bobby Ludlum thought the organization had booked a space weeks in advance, but the store had no record of it and booked another group.

"Maybe we're somewhat at fault. Maybe we should have called in after our commander, came in and made the reservation and make absolutely sure that things were good," said Ludlum.

Ludlum contacted Walmart's corporate headquarters and said he was told to expect a response from them Tuesday.

Walmart told WECT in a statement they are happy to work with VFW to find another weekend that works for them.

"Our company's appreciation for the military runs deep through our history. As one of the largest private employers of veterans, Walmart is proud to recognize and support those who have served and are serving our country," Walmart said in a statement.
