Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's, and Parkinson's disease serious health risk Study links Cyanobacteria to Alzheimer's, Lou Gehrig's and Parkinson's disease. Biologists at the Institute for Ethnomedicine, led by Director Paul Alan Cox, believe they've found the culprit for ALS (Lou Gehrig's) disease and other "tangle diseases" including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and supranuclear palsy. The tiny neurotoxic molecule BMAA (B-N-methylamino-L-alanine) is produced by blue-green algae (also called cyanobacteria) found worldwide. Alzheimer's

December 4, 2009, Lake Atitlan has a deadly Cyanobacteria bloomGuatemala's Lake Atitlán, surrounded by volcanoes and Maya settlements, has been taken over by a massive bloom of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae). It's no shock to realize that decades of environmental damage have led to this, but it is still very weird to see a seemingly pristine body of water transformed into a big pool of slime, with growing "dead zones" where fish and other critters can no longer survive. Guatemala is facing a widespread hunger crisis already -- so, for the at-risk human populations around the lake who live off a subsistence farmer/fisher lifestyle, this means more hunger, more death.
September 26, 2009, Cyanobacteria in Canada Hamilton, Ontario, Canada-some potentially toxic blue-green algae has lead to a warning from public health officials. Keep pets out, too, and don't eat any fish caught there, public health officials are warning. The algae does not affect the city's drinking water supply. Warning signs have been posted along a swath of the west harbour after blue-green algae (known as cyanobacteria) was spotted in several places, including Bayfront Park boat launch, Pier 4 beach, Leander Boat Club the police marine unit area and the Fisherman's Pier. Dr. Elizabeth Richardson, Hamilton's medical officer of health issued the warning late Thursday, saying the algae can be detected by a noticeable green surface scum or green discoloration of the water.
