Evangeline
Lilly Fear Returning to Hawaii Due to Allergies
2/14/08
Lost actress Evangeline Lilly is dreading her return to the set of the
desert island drama in Hawaii - because she is painfully allergic to so
many things there.
The newly-ended Hollywood writers strike brought production on the TV
series to a standstill last year (07), and the Canadian star was glad of
the break.
She claims she has suffered non-stop discomfort since arriving on the
island of Oahu, where the show is shot, and was desperate to get away when
the strike started in November (07).
She says, "As soon as I found out about the strike I got off the
island.
Island fever is not a joke. It's something everyone in Hawaii
experiences.
"I'm allergic to Hawaii. Everything there makes me react in some
way. I have spent the last four years with allergic reactions, or sick.
"On the way out, a spore or something got in my eye. The pink wet
flesh inside my eye just closed up. I started to see fuzzy and everything
was out of focus."
