I just found this article in Scientific American. It says 95 percent of all genera of cyanobacteria produce a molecule that is a suspected neurotoxin. This has made me kind of worried since I have had more then enough exposure to cyanobacteria. Oh well, I guess if I get Alzheimer’s early in life I’ll know why. :D
