Today I was shopping at Fred Myers in the health foods Bulk section and found some Energy Bars in bulk that have BlueGreen Algae in them. I thought since they sold it in the Organic Health section, it must be good for you.
Then after I ate a few of the bars, I read on the internet that blue green algae is toxic and could cause death in humans and animals.
Should I go to the hospital? Should I be worried? Am I gonna die?

There is more than one type of blue-green algae. Your energy bars probably have Spirulina in them, which is used as a supplement.

WELL IF YOU BOUGHT IT IN THE SHOP I WOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT IT.
