The �Green Monster� is back � a fluorescent toxic algae outbreak that�s been sliming Florida�s east and west coasts, sparking bad-news headlines and leaving ruined beach vacations in its wake.
Since this is political season, Florida candidates are formally expressing Grave Concern as people living in pricey waterfront homes understandably wail about their lost property values and a wrecked way of life. Paradise this is not.
You don�t want to boat, swim, paddle board or do anything aquatic around this bad-acting algae. In the short-term, you can get respiratory and intestinal distress. In the long term, studies link toxic algae to cancer, Parkinson�s, Alzheimer�s disease and ALS. Plus, it can kill your pets.
