HABs Confirmed in Cayuga Lake

HABs confirmed in Cayuga Lake this week—earlier than usual, spotted April 19th in Aurelius. Look for green streaks, clumps, or blue-green/brown/red hues. Avoid contact; rinse off immediately if exposed, and never use affected water for drinking, bathing, or cooking. Watch for dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or eye/ear irritation—seek help from health officials if symptoms appear. While these blooms can irritate, they’re actually good for water quality, so no county-wide advisory. Stay alert, check DEC’s site or call for updates, and always take precautions near the lake.
