Warm Weather Warning

Warm Weather Warning

 A warm summer weekend perfect for swimming is on tap for much of Wisconsin but people are warned to stay away from blue-green algae. 

The algae can make both you and your pet sick and it’s most often found in lakes, ponds and slow-moving streams.  The blue-green algae actually looks mostly green but it can also be a reddish-purple or brown and people can be exposed through inhaling.  Officials say most Wisconsin lakes are not tested for the algae so it’s important to check conditions before jumping in.
