Blue-green algae poisoning.

D G Spoerke, B H Rumack

    The Journal of Emergency Medicine
    |January 1, 1985

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Blue-green algae blooms can cause poisoning due to toxins released when algae die. While animal deaths are common, human cases typically involve mild allergic reactions or gastroenteritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental toxicology
    • Public health
    • Algal biology

    Background:

    • Blue-green algae blooms, often triggered by warm weather, can lead to poisoning events.
    • These algae release potent hepatotoxins and neurotoxins (fast death factor) upon cell death or disintegration.
    • While animal poisonings are frequently fatal, human exposures have generally resulted in less severe outcomes.
