Toxins and Parasites Threaten Local Lakes
Description
Lake Lawrence is under a health alert after toxin levels hit 16.5 micrograms per liter—double the safe limit—posing serious risks to liver health and possibly cancer. No drinking, swimming, wading, or waterskiing allowed, and fish shouldn’t be eaten. Boaters must avoid algae scum. Meanwhile, Ward Lake has a swimmer’s itch outbreak caused by parasites from snails and birds, leading to painful rashes. Avoid marshy zones, dry off quickly, and use waterproof sunscreen. Stay vigilant at all freshwater lakes—health officials are watching both lakes closely.
