I wouldn't think that the algae that would form on a jet ski would be toxic or irritate Jada's mouth. Blue-green algae is actually a bacteria that is toxic and has a distinctive blue color. It's possible that the cleaning solution you were using irritated her mouth, or that there is something else causing her to be painful and cry. You could try giving her some water or a small amount of food to help clear her mouth. If she is still crying you should have her examined by a veterinarian.
