Earlier this week, a type of algae that can cause skin rash,
eye irritation, and gastrointestinal problems has bloomed in part of the
Charles River in the area of the Longfellow Bridge. The type of algae is
cyanobacteria or blue-green algae.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health issued an
advisory recommending people and pets to avoid all contact with the water if it
appears to be bright green or contains green strands.
This specific type of algae has been found in the Charles
River before, however, large quantities of it can cause various health problems
for humans and animals because of some toxins the dying algae secretes.
Take precaution and keep you and your pets safe! Do you know
anyone or any pet who has had a health issue because of algae before? Let us
