Returned in 07 after 10 years in NYC. I am having a terrible time with allergies since March. Confused about what to do, don't want to leave after waiting 10 years to return. FYI to anyone that thinks that Hawaii is a good place for someone with allergies. We have the second highest rate of childhood asthma in the country.

The State of Hawaii has failed its' residents, as it failed to report the detrimental effects of asthma for fear of losing tourist or real estate business. As a result, our people have suffered greatly both economically and and physically. As a runner, and unaware of the detrimental effects of vog like conditions, I have developed a severe respiratory condition. I have never smoked, have been running since a teenager. We need to unite to make the State accountable to its' people. Why sacrafice profit for health? ALoha, Leilani Hi:

Hmmmmmm...... I wouldn ' t so much call it " allergies " as I would call it " polluted air " . I ' m sure big cities are worse , the ones I ' ve been in are anyways , but Kihei is not the place to come for fresh air . If you had to be on Maui , I' d suggest something Hana way , I 'd LOVE to be there myself , but we ( gf and myself ) are not bohemian millionaires , nor are we locals , so nix that idea . If you have the money it 's the place to be ..... unless if you have problems with mold . In which case , Kaua ' i , and Hilo area would be bad for you .... they both have a very wet climate , as I ' m sure you know Hana area has as well ( although not nearly as wet ) . My " best " suggestion for you two , I ' d guess something on Oahu , away from the city for sure , maybe towards North Shore , although somewhere thats not tooo wet . Oahu doesnt seem to get the vog as badly ( although they did get a spell of it around the time of the World Series last year ) as islands that are closer to Big Island ..... by the way , your husband prob got sick between May and August because of the wind pattern at that time of the year .... pulling vog from Big Island . Lastly , I am a runner , moved from Minnesota , and the amount of stamina I ' ve lost in the year and a half that I ' ve been here .........wow .( And I run at night mostly. ) They burned here on Friday and now several people at work ( today is Sunday ) are sick ...... I guess my points are 1.) money always tries to blame people for their " allergies " as they are sickening people ; 2.) there are better places out here than Kihei . Good luck . ha , so you moved here hoping to catch a break with allergies ? :) Kihei has : 1.) basically two crowded roads , always glutted with cars ; 2.) cane growers , in tandem with Monsanto , waging chemical warfare against everyone on this island by burning their crops , which are contaminated by Monsanto ‘ s ” Franken – pesticides ” ….. not to mention the plastic piping , and various other ” miscellaneous ” items that they burn at these times ; 3.) much less than 100 miles away ( from Kihei , about 35 miles from Maui ) an active volcano . Hmmmmmm……
