Cyanobacteria Bloom Alert at Henderson Lake | New Orleans News

A dangerous cyanobacteria bloom has been confirmed at Henderson Lake in Louisiana — and health officials are urging everyone to stay away. These blue-green algae can release harmful toxins invisible to the eye, causing rashes, stomach issues, or worse. Watch for odd colors, smells, or foam on the water — if you see it, avoid contact. Keep kids and pets out, wash off immediately if exposed, and don’t drink or cook with affected water. If you feel sick after being near the lake, see a doctor. For questions, call the Louisiana Department of Health hotline. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
