Blue Green Algae....

After lifting the warnings for the aforementioned lakes  (see previous posts) in Oregon, the State of Oregon DHS has issued two new warnings for water bodies in Douglass County.

The South Umpqua River near Myrtle Creek and Diamond Lake, located seven miles north of Crater Lake National Park on Highway 138 have both been shown to have high levels of blue-green algae.  One pet has died as a result of exposure to these toxins. 

This toxin can be very dangerous and these warnings should not be taken lightly!

For more information please follow these links to the DHS reports for The South Umpqua and Diamond Lake warnings and read through the previous posts for further information.
