A red tide bloom along the Bolivar Peninsula is raising questions about what it means for people visiting the coast — and how exposure could affect your health.

A red tide bloom has been detected along the Upper Texas Coast near Crystal Beach on Bolivar Peninsula, with water samples showing moderate algae concentrations and reports of fish kills and breathing-related problems.

Areas of the Texas Gulf Coast are seeing blooms of the algae, which can make people sick and kill fish.

The toxic algae blooms are killing marine life and turning waters red from Tampa to Naples.
