What is Diphtheria (And Why Should You Care)?
Diphtheria might sound like a disease from your history teacher’s slides, but surprise: it’s still around, and it’s causing some real health scares lately, especially in Nigeria.
It’s caused by a bacteria called Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and trust us, it’s not a cute vibe.
Here’s how it shows up:
· Sore throat (way worse than a regular one)
· Difficulty breathing
· Swollen glands
· Fever
· A gross grayish coating on your throat.
In severe cases, diphtheria can hit your heart and nervous system. Left untreated, it’s life-threatening.
Why Is Diphtheria Making a Comeback?
Honestly? Two major reasons:
· Vaccine immunity fades over time. Those childhood DTP shots you got? You need boosters to keep protection strong.
· In some areas, access to vaccines isn’t consistent, leaving people exposed.
Add travel, crowded spaces, and boom — higher risk of outbreaks, especially in urban centers.
Who’s Most at Risk?
· People who skipped childhood vaccines or boosters.
· Those in close-contact spaces: schools, gyms, public transport.
· Frequent travelers hopping across regions.

How to Stay Protected
· Check your vaccine status: Haven’t had a booster in a while? Time to fix that!
· Recognize symptoms early: Quick action = safer outcomes.
· Keep up clean habits: Wash hands, cover coughs, avoid unnecessary close contact.
