Health department officials in Daytona Beach are awaiting test results to confirm that the area has red tide. The results won’t be available until Thursday, but officials are pretty sure red tide has arrived in Volusia County. "I can feel it now. Like you can’t get your throat clear," beachgoer Dat Gaza said. Gaza has, what some call, a sea cough, one she shares with many others along the beach. The health department said the algae bloom is rare on the East Coast, so some people in the area don’t even know what red tide is. "Red tide is a microscopic algae. It produces a toxin that causes respiratory irritation and watery eyes," health department official Chip Schelble said. Red tide is commonly found on the gulf coast and this bloom was likely blown over on the Gulf Stream. Flagler and Jacksonville Beaches already have a confirmed bloom.)
