the lake is toxic

There has been people of this community who have become very ill from the coming in contact with the lake’s “green slime”.  They symptoms did not manafest themselves until almost a month after contact.  Symptoms were blurred vision, numbess and weakness, dizziness, headache and others. The sad part is they say it is viral so it just has to work its course.  Who knows what the course will be or what the lasting effects will be. It’s hard to fight something when you don’t know exactly what you are fighting against. This is crazy to think that they want to lift the ban on the lake.  It cant be safe to be on.  State workers have said there has been several dogs found dead along the lake also and one of our area dogs that swam in the lake often came out of the lake covered in the “slime” his owner washed him and symptoms appeared around one month later on the owner and the dog. The dog died! The state or EPA has to find a resolution and need to relay the magnitude of the lakes toxens.  Now I also have to wonder how safe is the drinking water or the water we bath in.  I have little children who take baths how safe is the water?  I think we deserve the truth and some answers before more animals die and our community members become very ill.
