They bought the watermelon, and a few hours later their day turned into a nightmare – don’t make the same mistake!

A family bought a watermelon from a supermarket, and after sitting on the kitchen counter for a few hours, it started to foam and emit a foul smell. It had begun to ferment, which indicates contamination or damage. Such a watermelon can be dangerous because:

• it poses a health risk (e.g., Salmonella, E. coli),

• it may contain toxic substances,

• and it could explode due to gas buildup.

To stay safe, always store watermelon in the refrigerator. If it’s soft, cracked, leaking, or has a strange smell, do not consume it.
