What you need to know about algae blooms<br />
Spring is here and the warmer weather means algae can start growing in your favorite<br />
lake and may form a bloom. Algae are a natural part of the aquatic ecosystems of lakes<br />
and algae blooms can occur throughout the Interior Health region.<br />
Blue-green algae or Cyanobacteria can produce several types of toxins that can be<br />
poisonous to people, pets or livestock. Cyanobacteria blooms often cause the water to<br />
look bad and may also smell bad.<br />
Two of the most important ways to reduce the risk is to rinse off with clean water after<br />
swimming and do not consume lake water. As well, follow these additional precautions:<br />
• If there is a bloom always use caution. Avoid all direct contact with a bloom. If<br />
contact is made, it is important to rinse your body with clean water.<br />
• If you see a bloom recreational activities are discouraged, such as swimming.<br />
• Consider using an alternate source for drinking water, if the bloom is in your<br />
drinking water source. Boiling the water will not remove any toxins. Contact your<br />
water supplier for more information.<br />
• Consider providing pets and livestock with an alternate source of drinking water.<br />
• You can report an algae bloom online with the Province of BC Algae Watch to<br />
have it identified.<br />
• Interior Health does not routinely test water of algae blooms to find a type of<br />
algae or its toxin. Algae blooms can change all the time.<br />
• If you’re showing any of the symptoms listed below and believe they may be from<br />
exposure to cyanobacteria, see your health care provider.<br />
• Headaches, nausea, fever, sore throat, dizziness, stomach<br />
cramps, diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, muscle aches,<br />
mouth ulcers, blistering of the lips, rashes and irritation of the<br />
ears and eyes.<br />
