Wednesday marks the summer solstice and the official start to summer, but scientists warn beach-goers to beware of harmful algae blooms that grow extremely fast this time of year.
Eric Sass is the manager for the Ohio Department of Natural Resource’s H2Ohio program, which oversees several water restoration projects to reduce harmful algal blooms and improve wastewater infrastructure.
Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, is an infection that you should be looking out for in bodies of water. “Just avoid the water, don't swim in it. Don't allow your pets or children to be in it and just stay away from the water in general until the danger passes,” she said.However, for pets, the consequences are much more serious.
