Public health advisory issued Armato interviewed at for Willow Creek Reservoir state spelling contest A health advisory prompted by high algae lev els found in Willow Creek R eservoir, near H eppner was issued today by the Oregon Department o f Hu man Services and the Mor row County Health Depart ment. Water sampling has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae in concen trations which can produce toxins harmful to humans and animals. These levels can be associated with dan gerous toxin concentrations in the water, according to W orld H ealth O rg an iza tion guidelines. Swallowing or inhaling water droplets should be avoided, as well as skin contact with water by humans or animals. The toxins cannot be removed by boiling, filtering or treating water. DHS recom m ends that if people choose to eat fish from waters where algae blooms are present, they should remove all fat, skin and organs from the fish before cooking since toxins are more likely to collect in these tissues. Exposure to toxins can produce symptoms o f numbness, tingling and diz ziness which can lead to difficulty breathing or heart problems and require im mediate medical attention. Symptoms of skin irritation, weakness, diarrhea, nausea, cramps and fainting should also receive m edical a t tention if they persist or worsen. Children and pets are particularly susceptible. The public will be advised when the concern no longer exists. With proper precau tions to avoid water contact, people are encouraged to visit Willow Creek Reser voir and enjoy activities such as cam ping, hiking, biking, picnicking, catch- and-release fishing and bird watching. For local inform a tion contact the Corps' Wil low Creek Natural Resource Management Office at ( 541 ) 676-9009. For health infor mation, contact Ken Kauff man, DHS Environmental Health Specialist, at (971) 673-0435 or visit http://or- egon.gov/D H S/ph/envtox/ maadvisories.shtml.
