Keep children and animals away from any blooms or scums. Toxins related to HABs are toxic to humans and pets.

Rinse with clean water if exposed.
Consider medical attention if you have symptoms of nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; skin, eye or throat irritation, allergic reactions or breathing difficulties.
