Blue green algae isn't actually an algae but it does look like it. In fact it is bacteria that form large clumps which look like algae.
Blue green algae can most commonly be seen in the summer months in canals and reservoirs where there is little flow of water.
Blue green algae poisoning symptoms include:
Diarrhoea
Vomiting
Drooling
Difficulty breathing
Disorientation or confusion
Convulsing or having seizures
