I was poking around Winni last weekend and noticed a sign at the Moultonborough town launch at Lees Mills that said something like "No Swimming -- Blue-Green Algae present". I, of course, checked online and the stuff is pretty nasty. Apparently, it is really a bacteria and not an algae which can release neurotoxins into the water that can cause skin irritation, vomiting, yadayada. Anyone know the current status in that area or other areas?
