Did you know?health problem posed by harmful algal blooms (HABs), raise awareness of these problems and inform efforts to prevent exposures from occurring.

The HAB program is partnering with many lake associations across the state to collect case information about human and animal illnesses or deaths.  BEOH staff are asking members of these local lakes associations to notify them of any known or suspected of human or animal exposures to cyanobacteria that may have resulted in illness or death.  Animal exposures can include pets, livestock or wildlife such as birds and fish.
The HAB program will be collecting information about symptoms and any treatment received or provided.  They will also collect exposure information, and seek to quickly collect environmental samples.  Please note, any individuals experiencing symptoms of blue-green algae exposure should seek medical attention.
