Authorities are warning those looking to cool off to stay out of the water at Lake Elsinore due to harmful algal blooms.
According to the California Water Boards, the blooms can be a health threat to both humans and pets.
Health risks after ingesting the algae while swimming include skin inflammation, gastrointestinal distress, headaches, agitation and weakness or abnormal breathing."Get medical treatment immediately if you think that you, your pet, or livestock has gotten sick after going in the water. Be sure to alert the medical professional to the possible contact with cyanobacteria," the agency said.
