Red tide is caused by higher-than-normal level of the alga karenia brevis and its toxin, brevetoxin in coastal waters.
pH, the addition of nutrients into waterways, still calm waters, upwelling brings nutrients to the surface, slightly increased temperatures, sunlight.... there are many factors that facilitate a red tide or a "harmful algae bloom".

According to Wikipedia..."Red tides are caused by increase in nutrients that algae need, usually due to farm runoff, causing an overpopulation. Their occurrence in some locations appear to be entirely natural, while in others they appear to be a result of human activities. The frequency and severity of algal blooms in some parts of the world have been linked to increased nutrient loading from human activities. In other areas, algal blooms are a seasonal occurrence resulting from coastal upwelling, a natural result of the movement of certain ocean currents."As for the effect on people:"No deaths of humans have been attributed to Florida red tide, but people may experience respiratory irritation (coughing, sneezing, and tearing) when the red tide organism (Karenia brevis) is present along a coast and winds blow its toxic aerosol onshore. Swimming is usually safe, but skin irritation and burning is possible in areas of high concentration of red tide."I hope that answers your question.
The gravitational pull of the moon is the cause of high tide.
The Moon's gravity is the primary cause of tides - all tides, both high and low.
Florida red tides are blooms (high concentrations) of a microscopic algae called Karenia brevis. These blooms can turn the water red, green or brown, but you might not always be able to see a red tide.Florida red tides produce a toxic substance (called brevetoxin) that can kill fish. Brevetoxin affects the nervous systems of fish and other animals that live in Sarasota Bay, including birds, mammals and other sea life. Animals suffering the effects of brevetoxin may swim in circles, become paralyzed, have seizures or die. The toxin can enter the bodies of mollusks, including clams and oysters, making them poisonous to eat. People who consume these contaminated shellfish can suffer food poisoning called NSP (neurotoxic shellfish poisoning).Red tide toxins can also be carried over land by wind, and they can cause temporary problems in people, including coughing, sneezing and watery eyes. People with chronic respiratory problems should be especially careful to avoid areas with Florida red tide toxin in the air. Swimming in waters with Florida red tide may cause skin irritations and burning eyes. For more information, please visit www.mote.org and click "Environmental Updates" followed by "Red Tide".
Yes protists cause disease , cause red tide, and the Irish potato famine Yes protists cause disease , cause red tide, and the Irish potato famine
Red tide is produced when red algae is reproducing
it can cause death in your health cause the tide is dangerous
