This National Institutes of Health News article documents a study being done to use two compounds associated with Florida red tide to treat mucus build-up related to cystic fibrosis. Researchers began looking at the toxins associated with red tide to create "anti-toxins," which led them to question the anti-toxin's usefulness in fighting cystic fibrosis.
