On May 7, 1998, the SC Task Force on Toxic Algae reported their
preliminary plan for monitoring and containing Pfiesteria outbreaks
as well as dealing with "estuary associated syndrome"
-- the official name for human health conditions associated with
Pfiesteria and related organisms. After a MD eastern shore physician
reported treating a man on May 8, 1998, for possible exposure
to a Pfiesteria-type organism, scientists reported no lesions
on fish or any other signs of Pfiesteria or related organisms
in the Pocomoke River on May 9, 1998.
