How long would it take for me to become sick if I were in close contact with and infected person?
A. In most situations, there is little chance that an individual who is exposed to a case of meningococcal meningitis will also get sick. However, anybody who has been around a case of meningitis should be alert to the possibility of disease in themselves, and seek medical care if they develop symptoms of meningitis. If you are going to become ill, the symptoms will show up in just a few days. Most people will get sick in two to ten days; the average is three to four days. Q.
