Which coast or ocean best for allergy sufferers?
I live in Georgia and my sinuses are driving me crazy. The doctor says move to the coast and live on the ocean. But which one? Does any one out there have an answer as to the best place to live if you have severe sinus infections all the time. I did live on the South Carolina coast once and I don’t believe I was sick at all due to my sinus. If anyone out there has an answer, plz get in touch. — T., Georgia
Hi there,
I’ve noticed the same thing myself especially when I was visiting Hawaii, specifically on the island of Oahu and I have never felt so better. It seems that it’s very productive having salt in the air that helps moisturize our sinuses. I have been to South Carolina too. I would think as long as you’re near ocean, either coast would just be great.

I got asthma when I lived in Monterey California, so I don’t think it has anything to do with the salt air. I never had a problem with asthma in NY, Florida, or Texas but living on the coast caused so many problems. I had horrible asthma and allergy attacks there.

I’ve had the opposite problem moving to the coast. I didn’t have allergies until I moved to the coast. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to “pond scum” and molds, which is quite prolific in the swampy, coastal environment. My advice is move to an area that contains the least amount of allergens responsible for you allergic response.
