Description: Caller is reporting she fell into the lady bird lake and is now experiencing illness symptoms that seem similar to algae exposure. A representative from Austin Public Health spoke with the individual on within a day of the 311 call. The caller fell into the water and likely gulped water; however, the symptoms could have been toxin, bacterial, or other factors. Given known near absent toxin concentrations in water, that was likely not the cause. Caller did not seek medical treatment.
