CV and Red Tide seem to have similarities, likely due to the attacking of the lungs by non-complex organisms. Both CV and Red Tide have documented long-haul symptoms. Many people do NOT have any red tide symptoms, like asymptomatic CV types. However, I am NOT aware of any red tide deaths to humans, just many sea creatures. The various Chambers of Commerce are unhappy about both red tide and CV - attempts are made to keep both out of the newspapers. Dead fish on the beach are cleaned up by earth-moving equipment often. It would be advisable for TVLanders to avoid the Gulf until the fall if possible.
