Peeing in the lake may not be a cause of cyanobacteria, but it is certainly causes the water quality to decline. Think of all the medications that people take and the birth-control pills that women use. If you are peeing, you are also adding all this to the lake. Certainly can’t be good for the fish and other creatures.
Just the thought of swimming at a crowded sand bar grosses me out!
But obviously, many people love swimming in warm pee.
