HIV blood in bananas? Beware of fake messages that spread fear and terror!
Social networks are currently sharing images of "bleeding bananas". Some of those who share these images claim that these are "HIV-infected" bananas. The reddish pulp is said to be blood from infected Africans. The pictures then animate to click, because the inclined reader of course wants to quickly know what's up with the admittedly unappetizing changes.

If the user clicks on the picture, he is redirected to an ominous "sex page". There, a subscription should be completed, not to read the true story about the bleeding bananas, but to look at salacious pictures and videos for a lot of money. So the user still does not know what the reddish flesh in the banana is and whether it really contains infected HIV blood in the fruit.

Red pulp due to malnutrition
Our team of experts has now taken on the question. Sebastian Bertram, editor-in-chief of HeilpraxisNet, says: "This message raises fears of the stranger. By no means is it blood. The banana pictures shared on Facebook do not show blood or even infected HIV meat, but pulp that was not sufficiently supplied with nutrients. "In the professional world, this phenomenon is called" dry red ". The deficiency phenomenon can also be recognized by the fact that the bananas have assumed a very narrow shape. The meat was not sufficiently supplied and turns red.

Conclusion: a lot of messages on Facebook are fakes. Whether by racist agitators or charlatans, they all have one thing in common: the images are meant to unsettle people, stir up fears and encourage them to click. In the banana pictures is also added that the surprised users should be lured into a subscription trap. Tip: Report split blood banana pictures to Facebook and let them know who shared them carelessly. (Sb)
