(KNZA)--A public health advisory has been issued for a local lake due to blue-green algae.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, announced Friday that Atchison's Warnock Lake has been placed under "warning" level status due to presence of the toxic hazard.

Warnock Lake joins five other lakes in the state under " warning" status.

KDHE says blue-green algae poses many health risks for both humans and animals.

For lakes under warning status, the agency says direct contact with the water should be avoided.

Fish may be eaten if they are rinsed with clean water. However, only the fillet portion should be consumed and all other parts discarded.
