RELATED: Red tide looms off Southwest Florida coastline RELATED: Red tide advisory issued for Clam Pass and Barefoot Beach The Department of Health suggests visitors and residents take the following precautions: Look for informational signage posted at public beaches and/or check the water quality status online. Do not wade or swim in or around red tide. Wash your skin and clothing with soap and fresh water if you have had recent contact with red tide, especially if your skin is easily irritated. Remain cautious and stay away from this location, especially if you have chronic respiratory conditions. Residents living in beach areas are advised to close windows and run the air conditioner.
