Red Tide??

Red Tide can be very localized. I was at Grayton for a while, yesterday, and didn't feel any symptoms of Red Tide, but that doesn't mean you didn't. Where were you beaching it?

Symptoms of red tide? Like allergies or sumpin'?

Yesterday we where in Grayton most of the day and then on Saturday we where between Seaside and Watorcolor. It was hard for me to even go outside when I lived in Tampa when red tide was in the area.

For me, the symptoms are closely related to being in a room with a lot of chlorine -- difficult to breath, constriction of throat, burning in the nose, burning eyes, upper respiratory cough, running nose, and sneezing.

It's back to school time and already the sniffles and bugs are going around- and allergies are starting.

Same here - but I also feel light headed and my ears hurt as well. Good times.

I've been wondering if that was the problem, too. But I think it's just a nasty little upper respiratory bug that is going around. Skunky says he's seen tons of it at the office. Plus, last time the red tide made me feel like I needed to cough, like a tickle in the back of the throat. And I felt worse outside than inside. Whatever this is, I feel the same whether I'm inside the house or not.

I experience the same thing Smiling Joe does. I have not felt that sensation yet.

I have it, (with a deeply sore throat,) and I don't know what Red Tide is. I figured it was allergies.

How do you have Red Tide, living in North GA? :funn:

Red tide email from 9/7:
NORTHWEST FLORIDA
No water samples were received this week from northwest Florida. Samples collected last week in St. Joseph Bay (Gulf County), south of Shell Point (Wakulla County) and south of Destin (Okaloosa County) contained no Karenia brevis, the Florida red tide organism.

I reckoned it was an internet virus y'all gave me.

Just please, please tell me that if it is Red Tide, it will be gone in a month. The only thing I want to have to worry about is hurricanes...and biting flies...and anything else?

Sumpin's in the air in Tennessee too cuz lotsa people have cold/allergy symptoms right now.

Bad drivers. And little kids on bikes.

Duly noted.

uh oh, I just had a tickle in my throat. Could it be Red Tide, or the almonds?

Uh, maybe it's fall allergy season?

Oh dear Lord, not you too. I keep trying to kill Rapunzel by offering her nuts every time I am with her.

I think there is some back to school stuff flying around...if red tide is in the area...you typically know it right away...or at least I do...sneezing...watery....congestion...coughing...awful...but symptoms subside when you go indoors. Usually...the closer to the ocean...the more dramatic the symptoms. IMO.
