EDMONTON - Young people here are being warned that meningitis can be spread at raves and other large party settings. Dr. Gerry Predy, the Capital Health Authority's medical officer, said several people who became ill with the deadly infectious disease last February attended large, rave parties. He said any party where people use drugs, alcohol, share drinks and cigarettes is a dangerous setting for the disease to spread.
