What are the common symptoms from breathing the Florida red tide aerosols?
Symptoms from breathing red tide toxins are normally coughing, sneezing, and teary eyes. Symptoms are usually temporary when red tide toxins are in the air. Wearing a particle filter mask may lessen the effects, and research shows that using over-the-counter antihistamines may decrease your symptoms. Fewer toxins are in the air when the wind is blowing offshore.
