Lahontan Reservoir Blooming

Author: Courtesy Nevada State Parks

Nevada State Parks has placed Lahontan Reservoir under a Watch Advisory due to an active Harmful Algae Bloom. A recent water test produced low algal toxin concentrations and has been backed up by visual indicators and satellite imagery. These toxic algae can cause serious health issues for humans and animals. If you see water that looks discolored or smells bad, stay away. Pets should be kept away from all water bodies under a HAB advisory.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
