Really bad here in BMB where I live just a few hundred feet from the beach. As soon as I step outside, I feel the throat irritation and start coughing.

Someone just told me that, years ago, they were in Maine and red tide was bad. They ate shellfish that they believe was contaminated with red tide. They became deathly ill. If that can happen, is it safe to eat seafood while we are there? How can we tell if it is ok or not?

Thanks! I caught a nice keeper redfish and whiting last night, a HUGE bull red, another nice keeper red and the biggest pompano I've ever caught in the surf today. Red Tide? How about these insane flies??? I'm ok because I wade out pretty far to throw my rig and then put on long sleeves and pants but it's awful for my wife. We got a bottle of Catus Juice this evening and I hope it makes a difference. They tell me it's the North wind and it doesn't look like it is going to change any time soon.

Whoa! This red tide is getting darn near intolerable. I don't see much in the news.

I walked my dog in the state forest yesterday and then returned via bike trail to old blue mountain beach. My dog and I sneezed the whole way back.

Read this article from the Sun Herald:

"Marine scientists at DMR and the University of South Mississippi agreed the blooms are quickly becoming the worst red tide ever recorded in the Mississippi Sound and possibly the northern waters of the Gulf of Mexico"
