How does green algae affect humans?

Answer 1

Wild blue-green algae is a higher source of chlorophyll than any other plant or algae and herein lies yet another very strong argument for the health benefits of including the algae in your diet in the form of a supplement.

Chlorophyll's benefits to your health are many: pain relief, ulcers, skin disorders, freshening the breath and helping your body obtain more oxygen. Plus aiding the health of your digestive system; acting as an anti-inflammatory and anti-septic; preventing infection; accelerating the healing of wounds; minimizing the damaging effects on the body of pollutants and so on.

Answer 2

It doesn't, usually. Not unless you're swimming in a lake and you touch some by accident. Or it gets into the water supply somehow, then it might make some people sick if they drink it. Note that many fish eat algae and without algae we couldn't eat that fish.

Answer 3

Green algae can produce toxins that can harm humans if ingested through contaminated water or seafood. Exposure to high levels of green algae toxins can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and even liver damage. It is important to avoid contact with water bodies known to have algal blooms and to follow guidelines for safe recreational activities.
