just normal fresh water with like the mildew/algae stuff that grows if you leave it out for too long.

I just need to know if it can or could or will harm you if you drink the water with it in their.

Answer 1

No. There are thousands of kinds of algae and only a few kinds are eaten by people. As food it will be processed more and even mixed in with other foods. You would not like the taste.
