Etymology

From: The Apollo name was coined from when an epidemic of the disease was first recognised in Ghana when the United States (US) launched the Apollo XI spacecraft. The Nigeria government blamed the space mission for the epidemic and actually sought compensation from the US for the suffering the illness caused. It was thought that the dust kicked up by the moon mission was responsible for the infection. (https://stedmundseyehospital.com/what-is-apollo/)
