I couldn't even get one in a row??? I think I will just refer to it as "Lake Clap". If ya get any symptoms a shot of penicillin will do the trick. Seriously though my father is a physician and I was talking to him about the possible side effects and harm that could follow from Blue Green Algae, or "Lake Clap" and the following was stated, and I quote:
"During Medical school we spent little to ZERO time studying "BLUE GREEN ALGAE" as a potential INFECTIOUS DISEASE. Amoeba's are the real threat as they can potentially be fatal. Algae at its core can be neutralized with Soap or Chlorinated Water. The only issue that I can see caused by Blue Green Algae would be something like a topical rash, death or serious illness is HIGHLY UNLIKELY."
I got this information before my brother and I headed to the lake on Saturday. This is another CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF THE LIBERAL MEDIA way over hyping a silly situation that warrants no immediate or actual threat unless you are a Dog, Livestock, or someone who enjoys SNIFFING a lot of water. I mean really think about this for a minute. If this really was a TRULY SERIOUS and POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING SITUATION do you really believe the GOVERNMENT; State or Federal would even allow access to the lake? NO CHANCE IN (FILL IN THE BLANK)! What everyone really wants to know is: How are they Bitting, and How long do we have before the Jet Skier's & Wakeboarders figure out that this Bull Snuff?

Actually the algea is not the only hazard. This huge sinkhole/slump formed on Treasure Island. Imagine enjoying a nice campsite, then woosh, you are in the water. 23ft. boat in photo for reference. Are they going to close the islands and give Landside/Tsunami warnings?

I grew up swimming mud holes in water that was way worse than any lake with blue, green or whatever color algae.
