Question

Why is it dangerous to swim in the lake when this algae bloom is present?

Answer 1

Answer:  Harmful algal blooms can produce toxins (poisons) that can make people and animals sick and affect the environment. During warm weather, tiny plant-like organisms—algae and cyanobacteria—are more likely to grow out of control in rivers, lakes, and oceans.
