Since the detection
of the
toxin microcystin left nearly half a million Ohio and Michigan residents without drinking water for several days in early August, discussions
of ways to prevent a recurrence have largely focused on the need to reduce the amount
of phosphorus fertilizer that washes off croplands and
flows into western Lake Erie to trigger
harmful cyanobacteria blooms.
As the infrared rays penetrate deep into the body, they increase blood
flow, break up water molecule clusters, and promote the release
of harmful toxins not typically released in a steam room.
