It can be factually accurate and clickbaity at the same time. Extremely few people have to be worried about this in practice, but the headline reads like it’s from a cheap zombie movie. > Which part of the headline was misleading or panic mongering? They don’t state which city it’s about (so it could be any major one), and mention the water supply which implies everyone is affected. They want you to go “oh shit, this could be my town”. They do tell you that it’s only in a small dump somewhere in Texas, and that it’s only killed 34 people in 10 years, but only after you clicked. The headline is definitely alarmist given the benign contents of the article.
