Red tide was found in background concentrations in one water sample taken from Franklin County this week.

The information was part of the state's Midweek Red Tide Status Update – the report did not detail the location of the positive sample.

Red Tide is an organism that in large enough concentrations releases a neurotoxin that can kill fish and even affect humans with eye, nose and throat irritation.
