We missed the Red Tide when we were in Longboat Key this winter but the tour guide described what sounded like a vacationer%26#39;s nightmare. Any problem here?
Any Red Tide in the Destin/Ft. Walton areas?
Not lately.

We%26#39;re considering vacation in Longboat Key at end of March. What was the story on the red tide there?
Like I mentioned, when we were there in December there was none and the water was spectacular but we went on a boat tour and the guide said that in the summer it was awful-been getting worse every year. I%26#39;ve read that it will just about ruin your vacation if it%26#39;s there when you are-even breathing is awful from the toxic fumes. We absolutely ADORED Longboat Key and that whole area. It did seem that most of the people there were older/retired-I really didn%26#39;t see much family action on LB Key itself--more on Anna Maria.

Thanks for the reply. I have read that some people suffer respiratory illnesses for up to a year after being exposed to red tide as well as blistering rashes. Kinda makes you wonder if it is worth it!
