Episode 74 - Harmful Algae Blooms with Dr. Ed Levin

Exposing Mold

Dr. Ed Levin is Chief of the Neurobehavioral Research Lab in the Psychiatry Department of Duke University Medical Center. He also has secondary appointments in the Department Pharmacology and Cancer Biology, the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, and the Nicholas School of the Environment. His primary project in neurobehavioral toxicology focuses on the cognitive deficits caused by the marine toxins including domoic acid, ciguatera toxin and pfiesteria aka algae blooms. His team has documented evidence that persistent neurobehavioral effects can be caused by pfiesteria and domoic acid exposure as published in, "And the Water's Turned to Blood: In the Rivers and Coastal Waters of America, An Ancient and Deadly Organism, Reawakened By Man-Made Pollution May Become the Ultimate Biological Threat," by Rod Barker.
In this episode, we discuss how harmful algae blooms can trigger illness.
