According to news reports by WTOV-TV and The Columbus Dispatch, algae capable of causing sickness in humans and death to pets has been found in the Ohio River at or near Belmont County, Ohio, up in the area near Wheeling, W.Va.
That would explain the little floaters I've seen the past few days along the Ohio here in the Huntington area. The algae needs calm waters, not flowing waters, to reproduce, and the river has been pretty low and calm lately with the lack of rain. About the only thing stirring the water is barge traffic and pleasure craft.
