Warning issued for Lake Panache

Blue-Green algae has formed on the north shore of Lake Panache.  The Sudbury and District Health Unit says people should not use the water because these algae blooms can produce toxins.  Toxins can irritate a person’s skin and if you swallow them you can experience vomiting and diarrhea.  The health unit says in more serious cases people can suffer liver and nervous system damage if they ingest high levels of the toxins.    The health unit says don’t use the water for any reason and don’t give it to your pets or livestock.  Boiling the water won’t help because that just produces more toxins.  Use alternative sources of water until the bloom disappears.
