Recreational Exposure:

"Cyanobacteria blooms are aesthetically displeasing in sight, odor and taste, as well as potentially toxic to domestic animals, livestock, waterfowl and humans. Cyanobacteria are a potential public health danger because they may produce toxins, collectively referred to as "Cyanotoxins," that can be released into the water when cells die or are consumed by organisms in the food chain. However, the amount of toxin produced varies over time and from lake to lake."(from NHDES, please read more at the link immediately below)
