muffin Posted September 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2015 One of our group has lung issues...uses CARP machine at night etc. Any reports of persons suffering breathlessness, trouble breathing etc while walking around the sulphur pools and geyser areas? We do not want to cause them any problems or anxiety. Thx for insider knowledge. We have never seen any suggestions that any persons should use special care. Of course we can just leave if they feel uncomfortable, but don't want to risk anything while on holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargoK Posted September 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted September 28, 2015 As a New Zealander who has been to Rotorua a lot over the years and as an asthmatic I have never had an issue with the sulphur, having said that I have been affected by the pollen from pine trees. I would recommend your travel companion undertake their own investigations as they would be more familiar with triggers for their breathing issues.

muffin Posted September 29, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted September 29, 2015 They are doing so, and of course you are correct. I just thought CC,s may have some opinions too. As you were the only response, I assume it is not a huge issue for people out there who would know about these things. I thank you for your hel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joberri Posted October 8, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2015 We do have a lot of pollen in the spring but all other times seem to be OK, I live in Rotorua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giraffeferret Posted October 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 10, 2015 They should be find as long as they don't go for a bathe in the sulphur pools where the concentrations of gases would be higher. I go there often and never seen anyone have issues. As per other comments, the pollen from all the pine forests would probably be a bigger concern.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
