Attention nature lovers and dog owners! If you’re planning to visit Parc Cwm Darran or Pen-y-Fan Pond, there’s an important update you need to know. 🛑
Toxic blue-green algae has been detected in the waters of these popular beauty spots. While naturally occurring, this algae can produce harmful toxins, posing a risk to both humans and our furry friends. 🚫🌊
👉 What You Need to Know:
– Avoid any contact with the water.
– Keep your pets, especially dogs, out of the water.
– Fishing at Parc Cwm Darran is on hold for now, but fishing is still allowed at Pen-y-Fan Pond with strict risk assessments.
Why the fuss? Ingesting or coming into contact with this algae can lead to severe health issues. For pets, it can be fatal. For humans, exposure might cause skin rashes, eye irritation, vomiting, and other nasty symptoms. 🤢
Although not all blue-green algae are dangerous, it’s safer to assume they might be, as differentiating by sight alone is tricky. 👀
