Way to make it sound like the plague Spank lol.
Don't let the warnings stop you Melabee. Lots of the lakes with warnings are not in that bad of shape at all. If you go out and the lake is really bad you won't want to stay anyways but more then likely it will just have a couple green clumps floating around on the windswept side of the lake. Don't drink the water and avoid contact directly with the blooms and you will be fine. Handling fish even if the water is semi gross won't be an issue at least it has never been for me and I have fished in some pretty nasty lakes...
If you do happen to come into contact(fall out of boat or whatever) the health websites just say to rinse with water. Although you could possibly get a rash the more serious issues are caused from ingestion.
