I don’t think that as a child in the Netherlands I ever contemplated that water might be dangerous for any reason other than drowning. It’s bizarre to hear that it’s true in any first world nation.


Beaches in Massachusetts in the US were closed a number of times this summer because of algae blooms and other reasons.


Blue algae blooms will make you real sick though.
