Red Tide Alert: Stay Out of Water | Jacksonville News

Red tide’s back and getting stronger near Ft. George Inlet — with medium concentrations of toxic algae now detected in parts of Duval and Nassau counties. Health officials are urging everyone to stay out of the water, avoid dead or distressed seafood, and take precautions if you’re nearby: rinse off immediately if you get exposed, keep windows shut, and use AC to avoid airborne toxins. Levels have jumped since last week, so check updated maps from Florida health and wildlife agencies before heading to the beach or fishing. Red tide’s peak season is here — stay informed and stay safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
