Lake Water Scratch Turned Deadly | Santa Fe News
Description
A dad from Albuquerque thought a Fourth of July lake trip was harmless—until minor scratches turned into sepsis, liver and kidney failure, and a week in the hospital. His daughter also got scraped, and he now says he’d never ignore it again. Doctors warn that lake water infections can escalate fast, especially if you’re vulnerable. Testing isn’t routine or instant—report concerns to the Poison Information Center. The lake last tested in 2025, and while new algal bloom maps are up, this case is a chilling reminder: small cuts can become deadly.
