There was a (genuine) report in J Royal Soc Medicine in 1992 (vol 85 p181) about
a soldier admitted to hospital after a fit with some petechiae looking like
meningitis. The story eventually came out that he had been chewing a piece of
semtex as part of some macho ceremony or initiation rite and overdid it. So the
tale continues...
