Eastman Lake Algae Bloom Warning | Fresno News

Madera County’s Eastman Lake is in trouble—dangerous algae blooms are covering shorelines near both boat ramps, and officials are urging everyone to stay away. Touching the water can cause rashes and eye/throat irritation, while more severe exposure may lead to vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, or even liver damage. Kids and pets are especially at risk. Don’t swim, don’t let your dog play in it, and absolutely don’t eat or drink any water from the lake—even boiling won’t help. Watch for green, blue-green, or brown scum, floating mats, or streaks—and report sightings via public health, the California Harmful Algal Blooms Portal, email, or hotline. Stay alert: nature’s beauty can hide serious danger. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
