Part of the whole panic and cherry picking thing is also an important next step: refusal to do proper research. A simple web search would correctly show you that it's harmless. One might also find sources that claim it's actually satanic, but they'd find those in blogs, social media, or message boards, while legitimate and official sites would show the correct info.

It's up to the person to determine which one is correct. Most logical people would go with the simplest and least sensational definition being the correct one, while those with a conspiratorial mind view would ignore such common sense and choose to panic.
