I’m thinking combination of taking dip in contaminated water and falling ill (feeling ill, throwing up, confusion) with extreme heat may have did it.
But if the report that they were well prepared means their water bottles were all full…that wouldn’t support this theory as you’d think they’d go through all their water throwing up etc.
Baffling, hope their is a quick resolution for the family’s sake.

From what I've read about the effects of algae blooms on humans, skin contact with contaminated water wouldn't have caused severe problems, especially so quickly.
This reminds me of Lake Nyos in Africa in the 1980s, when a big bubble of CO2 rose from the bottom of the lake bed and killed all people and animals within 15 miles. But if something similar had happened, there would have been dead animals around.
