Oh man, I know about the horrors of staph infections. Used to guard against it when I was doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
That's really interesting about mango sap. So if I've peeled mangoes before, and don't get a reaction, would I be okay?
EDIT: Boy, talk about a major thread hijack [:p]

Probably although the allergic reaction can develop over time. Also, some mangoes are much worse than others. In my experience the common and turpentine mangoes (? the correct names) are the worst. My wife has the problem with the sap but can eat the flesh except the turpentines.

Not to worry too much if you WOOF Jason, just use your own gloves and be careful not to touch your eyes or mouth. There is a book called "Poisonous Plants of Paradise" that has a lot of the toxic plants here listed and pictured.

Hey all -
I'm looking for a place to stay somewhere close to Pahoa that's cheap. I'll be at the Kalani yoga retreat, but as a guest I can only stay up to 7 days (I think).
I will need a place from about the 24th of Jan to the 1st of February. Hoping for a cheap place and would have absolutely no complaints about working for rent. I'm a hard worker and I do quality work.
Thanks all!
I work at Kalani, and as long as we're not full, you can come early or stay late if you want.

Cwoods, cool! So I take it you know KG? My biggest issue is the $35/night which is just for a space to set up a tent, right?

The initials don't ring a bell, what's his/her full name?

correct me if I am wrong, but someone once told me that if you "hang a fishing pole next to your tent" you are permitted to stay on the beach for 30 days. I have NO IDEA if this is true but it would be good for those who know to ring in on this idea...

As far as I know, beach camping is permitted in designated campgrounds and by permit only. If the fishing pole rule were real, we would have major homeless encampments, think about it.
I wouldn't recommend either MacKenzie or Isaac Hale for a single guy, too much history of locals getting into it with visitors in those places.
