The problem is that treated sewage contains nitrate and phosphate, fertilizing substances widely used in agriculture that make things worse in overfertilized lakes. Though nitrate is normally harmless in the body, intestinal bacteria can turn it into nitrite, a compound that hinders hemoglobin from transporting oxygen to the tissues, causing labored breathing and even suffocation...

...patient a heavy injection of a cortisone-type hormone, and repeat it, in stepped-down dosage, every other day for ten days. This treatment should relieve the systemic effects and reduce the danger of kidney damage, which arises from destruction of red blood cells and the release of hemoglobin into the circulation...
