We're having another plankton bloom here. FOr the last 2 weeks I've been saying the water tastes like red tide and getting wierd looks-well now its here. I don't like swimming in it-it makes my eyes and throat burn. Also I once got tangled in a large bat ray I didn't see in all the murk. I will proabably keep swimming in it anyway (beats the pool). Does anyone have tips for the burning eyes and throat?

Right now on the news there is a story on red tide here in southern California. It is killing seals in Long Beach and they say if you eat fish that have eaten the algae it can make you sick. They also advised to never swim in it.
