Thanks to everyone who is replying on the skin itch I experienced on Maui and the big island.
No one in my family has any skin allergies so it is probably not hereditary. I have no problems eating tomatoes, eggplant or onions whether organic or not. There was something in the air in Maui and then some years later on the big island, and with the heat causing my pores to open, I got blasted with something that caused me to itch unbelievably. Nothing happened to my husband. Both times it was just on my face and went away when I reached Kauai.

I cn think of a way to try to figure it out. Often allergies run in families, and I am talking about plant families. So a person who is allergic to tomatoes can also have the same reaction to other members of the nightshade family. Looking into what caused the rxn in the first place, one can then see if members of that family grow on those islands. Another thought is that the Big Island has active volcanoes, which outgasses alot of toxic stuff, sulpherous compounds, etc, that can by itself cause rxns in some people. kathryn On Mar 30, 2008, at 3:21 PM, jessie70 wrote: > no.
