The short answer, is YES. A more detailed answer is: Some blue-green algae produce toxins that could pose a health risk to people and animals when they are exposed to them in large enough quantities. Health effects could occur when surface scums or water containing high levels of blue-green algal toxins are swallowed, through contact with the skin or when airborne droplets containing toxins are inhaled while swimming, drinking, bathing or showering. Recreational contact, such as swimming, and household contact, such as bathing or showering, with water not visibly affected by a bluegreen algae bloom is not expected to cause health effects. However, some individuals could be especially sensitive to even low levels of algal toxins and might experience mild symptoms such as skin, eye or throat irritation or allergic reactions.

Can i use bleach in marble fountain to kill algae?
It is not a good idea to use bleach to kill algae in your water fountain. The bleach will corrode the plastic tubing and can damage your fountain pump since it is made mostly of plastic. Bleach can also be harmful to children and wildlife that may be attracted to the fountain. There are several products made specifically for eliminating algae from water fountains and it is best to use these. They are non-toxic and specifically designed to be effective without being harmful or damaging. A great place to find fountain supplies is http://www.thewaterfountainstore.com. Good luck!
