The DNR has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae located in Pelican Lake in eastern Oneida County.
The algae appears in late summer and can be a health hazard for humans and animals.
Oneida County Registered Sanitarian Jody McKinney talked with Ken Krall about the problem.
McKinney says seek immediate medical help from a doctor or veterinarian if people or pets are exposed to bluegreen algae.
