As of Monday, contaminated steroids have sickened 105 people with a
noncontagious but deadly form of fungal meningitis, while 13,000 people
may have been exposed to the contamination. Eight have died. Health
officials attribute the outbreak to spinal steroid injections for back
pain.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found fungus in sealed vials of
the steroid in question, produced by the Massachusetts-based pharmacy,
New England Compounding Center (NECC). The NECC voluntarily recalled all
of its products on Saturday and surrendered its license to operate
until completion of the FDA’s investigation.

You can find a list of the 76 medical facilities that obtained the steroid at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

What is Fungal Meningitis?

Meningitis inflames the membranes protecting the
brain and spinal cord. Usually brought on by a viral or bacterial
infection, fungal infection is rare and not contagious but no less
deadly. Symptoms include headache; fever; nausea; stiffness of the neck;
and (in the case of fungal infection) confusion, dizziness, and
aversion to bright light. Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University
Medical Center says that because blood vessels clot or bleed in
response to fungal infections, symptoms are rarely mild and can be as
severe as small strokes.

Because patients treated earlier have greater chances of survival, health officials encourage people with symptoms to seek aid.

Other Dangers of Pharmaceuticals

About 1 in 10 drugs administered in the U.S. are manufactured in
compound facilities, which do not answer to FDA mandates and instead go
through state health pharmacy boards before sale.



To be fair, the FDA is complicit in a number of other conditions
resultant of vaccines and harmful pharmaceuticals. In example, after
being administered steroids for an asthma attack, Shanyna Isom developed
a skin condition wherein she grows fingernails instead of hair.
Her condition is the only one recorded in the world and has cost her
family over a quarter of a million dollars in medical bills.

Additionally, a report from the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology found states that aluminum hydroxide in vaccines may cause a deadly aluminum overdose for children and adults.

Vaccines have also been linked to autism, Guillain-Barre syndrome,
paralysis, and death in addition to less severe chronic conditions like
allergies and autoimmune diseases.
