    Hundreds Poisoned in Utah as Toxic Algal Bloom Contaminates Water

    Hundreds Poisoned in Utah as Toxic Algal Bloom Contaminates Water




    "A toxic bacterium, similar to that causing a state of emergency in Florida, is now terrorizing Utah, with hundreds already reported to be poisoned by contaminated water.

    "Roughly 330 people in Utah were reported poisoned, after exposure to water contaminated with dangerous levels of cyanobacteria, the same microorganism that has contaminated waters in Florida throughout last two months.
    According to Barbara Insley Crouch, executive director of the Utah Poison Control Center, the 330 documented cases have symptoms including vomiting, headache, diarrhea and abdominal pain. A high exposure to the bacteria can cause respiratory problems and skin irritation."

    Pop goes another balloon.

    God knows what they are doing to South American jungles and African veldts.
    A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.

    Not an algal bloom if it's bacteria.

    Most of the world's oxygen is produced by algae. It's the key to our survival, and maybe demise.

    It's the little things in life that really matter. Bacteria are vital for our survival too.

    I read: If all the insects in the world disappeared, in 50 years the world would be a disaster. If all the humans in the world disappeared, in 50 years the world would be a paradise.
