Red Tide is certainly toxic to humans and is an algae bloom.

Red Tide exposure can cause respiratory irritation, bronchoconstriction, coughing, and wheezing.

In some rare cases being effected by Red Tide could be fatal if not treated for the exposure.

You should avoid swimming in Red Tide because it can be really harmful.
