I agree with you OP about Alaska. It's NOT a place to raise a child. I left with my 6-year old in the mid-80s because if I didn't, he would, six feet under right now. Along with myself. Just one bad-ass place to live. Beautiful scenery, but death all around.

Alaska has very dry air with Southeastern being the exception. Using a humidifier everyday was normal. Just like taking your Vitamin D3 tablet.

Fast forward, have another child whose nose bleeds every single time it gets dry out. Doctors have no explanation so what I do is pump the house again with water from several humidifiers and especially in his bedroom - day and night. It's the only method that works.

Several friends still commercial fish in the Gulf of Alaska and Bristol Bay - they say the beaches are full of Fukushima debris, and I've told them to buy a Geiger counter before they are tempted to pick any of it up. They did that am I'm waiting to hear their results. But it's a HUGE mess up there - the seals have open sores, now happening to polar bears and other wildlife. I'm thinking radiation, maybe side effects from HAARP. Maybe both. Something's wrong, that's for sure.

I say, don't eat ANYTHING that coming out of the Pacific, including crab. Maybe the interior lakes and rivers (fish) are okay, I don't know.

Hope this helps OP.
