As the temperatures remain high throughout San Joaquin County and the rest of California, health officials urge caution to those who plan on being near any water such as rivers, lakes and ponds.
Blue-green algae (BGA) or cyanobacteria is produced in warm temperatures and can be dangerous; any contact should be avoided by both humans and animals.
“To avoid illness, exercise caution and observe signage that warns visitors to avoid active algae blooms,” San Joaquin County Public Health Officer Dr. Maggie Park said in a news release Tuesday.
Even though this is not something new to the county, San Joaquin County Public Health and Environmental Health officials and the state Regional Water Quality Control Board are urging the public to avoid exposure that can cause health risks.
