Avoid Swimming In The Water When You Find Fish On The Beach

Your health is not likely to deteriorate when there is a single dead animal on the beach. However, you should take a lot of deceased animals and fish to mean that the water is toxic. It might even mean that there is “red tide” in the water! This is a phenomenon that happens in all parts of the world, though they have been traced to the algae species Karenia brevis from the Gulf of Mexico. When they are present in overwhelming amounts, the water will get red tide. Although they occasionally make the water brown or reddish in color, the water may also appear completely normal. Common symptoms include respiratory irritation, so rinse it off in fresh water to get some relief.
