A disease that irreversibly damages the brain in just a few hours
I heard there's some disease that literally damages the brain in hours? Is that serious? What should I watch out for so I don't miss the symptoms?

Don't Google it - you'll just scare yourself and start imagining symptoms. If you actually feel a sudden severe headache, high fever, neck stiffness, or confusion, go to a doctor right away, it can't wait. But in 99% of cases it's not that scary disease you heard about.
if you notice sudden severe headache with high fever, neck stiffness, or confusion - don't wait and go to the hospital right away, this is really serious and every hour counts. the main catch is that the symptoms look like regular flu or a cold at first, so people put off seeing a doctor and hope it'll go away on its own - don't count on that, better to be safe than sorry. with these signs you need urgent diagnosis, not home treatment.
