Cyanobacteria
KC Star, September 26
John Milburn, Associated Press
"Blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, are found naturally in bodies of water. They become a health concern when they bloom in massive amounts and release toxins which can cause rashes, vomiting, nausea and other sypmtoms." The article cited the outbreaks in many lakes and reservoirs throughout KS. Would have been a tough summer if we had to endure the scourge, right?
