The best thing you can do to keep yourself, your family and pets safe is know what toxic algae looks like and avoid it.
The algae grows on submerged riverstones in a shiny brown/dark green coating, or as dark brown strands. When it dies it floats to the surface and forms small brown or white mats at the water’s edge
If a person in your group swallows even a small amount of toxic algae (coin sized or less) seek IMMEDIATE medical attention.
DOGS
Toxic algae is deadly to dogs, who love the taste of the mats which float at the river’s edge. Keep your dog on a leash and away from the water. If your dog swallows toxic algae seek immediate veterinary attention.
