Yes, one person—a young boy who thrashed about in a golf pond infested with cyanobacteria, about 20 years ago. So, there has been one person. This is not a public health issue; it is an environmental protection issue, just as acid rain is. So, we should not be scaring people talking about the dangers associated with cyanobacteria. Yes, it can make people sick, and it can even kill people—there have been cases across the world—but there are other public health issues that are far more serious. The problem is really one of environmental degradation.
The increase in the number of lakes affected by cyanobacteria is only a reflection of media coverage, because the media have greatly contributed to increased publicity around this problem. People have started to monitor the waterways and are seeing cyanobacteria. I can tell you that in Quebec, there are actually far more than 200 lakes affected by cyanobacteria. In fact, I can predict right now that some 300 will be reported this year.
