so does anyone have any first hand knowledge about whether the Wai Opae (or Champagne) water is giving people infections or other issues? There is so much vague info.
I lived across from Wai Opae for a month last summer. i only went in twice, because I had had some dermatological surgery, just enough to where I felt I was vulnerable until it healed. Both times I went in, a week or so apart, I felt like I had a flulike weird illness for the next few days ... but I have no idea if that was just a coincidence.
I got no rash or infection ... but I have heard people talk about rashes, infections, ear infections ... is it all just friend of a friend of a friend or supposition? Or is it a real concern?
by the way, I was told by my neighbor to stay out of the front pool (keiki pool), and only snorkeled farther out (but not all the way out).
