Health Warning Issued for Lake Okaro and Lake Rotoehu
Health warnings have been issued for both Lake Okaro and Lake Rotoehu because of the presence of blooms of potentially toxic blue-green algae.
Contact with water affected by blooms of blue-green algae can cause asthma and hayfever attacks in some individuals. Contact with the blue-green algae can also cause skin rashes, stomach upsets, and in some cases neurological effects such as tingling around the mouth, headaches, breathing difficulties and visual problems.
The health warnings mean that people should avoid any activity which involves contact with the water in Lake Okaro or Lake Rotoehu. For more information visit www.toiteora.govt.nz...
