I just read that gorgeous crystal blue Lake Tahoe in California has been invaded by a algae because of the unusually warm temperatures. A woman’s dog died after swimming in the lake and the veterinarian said he thought it was due to the algae. In Vermont, Lake Champlain has had a terrible problem with algae and bacteria and now the cities along the lake issue warnings about swimming in it. My friend developed nasal fungal balls her doctor attributed to her daily swims in the lake during the summer.
