Public Health Implications of Exposure to Cyanotoxins

 * Freshwater blooms may be blown by wind to adjacent lands and causing inhalational exposure.
 * Recreation at or near these blooms can cause direct dermal toxicity and other related health effects from affecting the gastrointestinal, nervous and other systems.
