Mysterious foam has been seen on the coast of Australia. After this, many surfers have complained of eye irritation, sore throat and cough after entering water. A large number of dead fish came to the coast, causing panic. According to a report, more than 100 surfers have also fallen ill on Waitingga Beach and Parsons Beach.
‘Something strange in water’
Last week, the thick, yellow, shining foam was seen on Waitingga Beach, about 100 km south of Adelaide and 15 km southwest from Victor Harbor. Subsequently, people going to the beach and surfing started complaining of flu -like symptoms, such as itching in the eyes, dry cough and sore throat.
According to a report, the water was filled with foam, and green, sticky mud also flowed on the shore. Some tourists reported “sticky” in water and dozens of dead fish on the beach. Roland shared pictures of dead marine species, including pirates flowing on the beach, online. “There have been clear evidence of some strange thing in water,”
People reacted
Surfer Anthony Rolland said that more than 100 people, including he and other employees, have been affected. He feared that it could spread to other beaches of the Fleriyu Peninsula. Reacting to the post of Roland, a person said that it was feeling as if something was stuck in our neck. Another said that his eyes were damaged.
Investigation started
Health officials claimed that this foam has probably arose due to the rise of microscopic algae due to intense heat, stable water and sea temperature. He has advised to temporarily shut down the weightpinga and parsons beaches. An environment and water department official said that Waitinga Beach and Parsons Beach have been temporarily closed at Newland Head Conservation Park, while investigators are investigating the case. As soon as everything becomes normal, the beaches will open again.

A local person speculated that this mysterious foam would probably arise due to blue/green algae or cyanobacteria, which is dangerous for both humans and animals. Cyotoxin exposure to flu can cause flu -like symptoms, including fatigue, sore throat, and difficulty in breathing.
