smell change

[High Plains Diver]

This summer after diving in lakes that were in the early stage of an algae bloom, I noticed that a few things smell and taste strange. I talked to my doctor about it and he is treating me with antibiotics. Is this a common problem for divers?

Where are you? {Good infor to have in your Profile. See Quick Links above.} What was the water temp? How long after diving did the problem continue?
