As many as 1,000 people who attended a rave where party-goers supposedly shared a pacifier dipped in the drug ecstasy are being urged to see a doctor because one of them has been diagnosed with meningitis.

The woman, whose name and age were not released, attended the party near Hoags Lakes last weekend, the state Department of Community Health said Thursday.

She was hospitalized with meningococcal meningitis, which can be fatal, but she is expected to recover, said department spokesperson Geralyn Lasher.
