Mind if I prefer sunbathing …!

Don’t worry I am not writing from some lovely sunny places like Barbados and I am not crazy enough to take any risk to expose a bare skin to the chilly sun in Central Park. I have just read a post by Kathleen MacNaughton on About Asthma. She is releasing some details of a study from the American College of Chest Physicians linking asthma symptoms from people visiting Florida to the presence of red tides at the time of crisis. These red tides are the results of an alga which is producing brevetoxin, a highly potent airborne toxin. So it may sounds better to live in New-York. But more seriously, even if it is “natural” pollution, the high concentration of this alga in the Gulf of Mexico is unfortunately the results of human activities. You may read more about this study here.
