Warning of blue -green algae: banned bathing in Ansbach's waters pronounced

In the Ansbach district, there is currently a bathing ban in several waters, which indicates an alarming situation with blue algae. The health department at the Ansbach district office has given this recommendation to protect the population from possibly serious health risks.

The affected bathing water, in which the bathing water is classified as not safe, are:

• Krummweiher in the market town of Bechhofen
• Badeweiher Wolfsbühl in the municipality of Wilburgstetten
• bathing pond Schopfloch
• Badeweiher Schleifweiher in the city of Feuchtwangen

warnings for other waters

In addition, there are recommendations for action for other waters in the form of botite warnings. This warning concerns:

• Badeweiher Rügland
• Sonnensee Kettenhöfstetten in the market town of Flachslanden
• Weißenkirchberger Weiher in the city of Leutershausen
• Badeweiher Bruckberg

The dangers that work out of blue algae should not be underestimated. These cyanobacteria can cause serious health problems in humans, including nausea, diarrhea and even serious paralysis. Children who, if they swallow a lot of water, are particularly at risk. Pets, especially dogs, are also threatened by drinking contaminated water, which can lead to fatal poisoning in severe cases.

These health risks often arise due to the over -fertilization of the waters and the currently prevailing warm temperatures. Visible signs of a blue algae blossom are green, streak deposits on the water surface. A simple orientation aid to water quality is: If you can no longer see your feet in the knee -deep water, you shouldn't take a bathroom there.

Regular monitoring of water quality is an important concern in the Ansbach district. The health department continues to carry out controls to ensure that bathing water remains harmless to the public. The current warnings are therefore a serious measure to ensure both people's health and the protection of animals.

The population is asked to take the warnings seriously and to consider the recommended bathing bans in order to avoid risks. By staying informed and follows the information from the health department, you can protect yourself and others and possibly prevent serious health consequences.
