Living by the Lake? Read This ASAP

Turns out, living near lakes or coastlines with those nasty green algal blooms could actually up your risk of dying from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) sooner. Researchers found a specific toxin from these blooms in ALS patients’ brain and spinal fluid. If you’re swimming, boating, or even using well water near these blooms, you might be more at risk. Midwest folks, especially around Lake Erie, should really pay attention. Climate change and pollution are making these blooms worse every year! #ALS #HealthNews #LakeLife #Health #BodyHealth
