Description
Six hours after surfing at Salmon Creek Beach in Bodega Bay, Ca.on Sunday, July 15th, I came down with the following symptoms: 1) itchy ears, nose and throat 2) sensetive skin (rash) 3) intense swelling of the nasal passages 4) sneezing
The water at Salmon Creek this day was a funny color. It looked like a combination of bronze, magenta, and yellow. There were some bright yellow areas in the white water. Especially in the channels between peaks. Two days later, I had horrendous vomiting and diarrhea.
