Algal Blooms Threaten Idaho Waters | Boise News

Idaho’s health department has issued a serious warning about toxic algal blooms in Grasmere Reservoir and the Bruneau Arm of CJ Strike Reservoir—don’t swim, don’t touch, and keep pets and livestock away. Cyanobacteria toxins can harm humans, animals, and even farm animals; boiling or filtering won’t help. Watch for rashes, breathing issues, stomach pain, or liver damage—seek medical or vet care immediately. These blooms are natural but worsen with heat, often looking like spilled paint or hidden underwater. Stay safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
