Effects of humidity on people with CF

Hi everyone,

I have a 6 year old daughter who has CF. Despite having had many infections requiring much IV antibiotic treatment during the past five years, she has good lung function, and is very active.

We as a family have been given the opportunity to relocate to the Abu Dhabi in the Middle East, which is an extremely hot country, and has virtually no rainfall (very different from damp old England). However I have now spentot a couple of weeks in the in Abu Dhabi, and I have come to realise that although it is extremely hot, it is is also very humid all the time.

The first question that I have, if anyone can offer any advice, is how will this climate affect my daughter, would it be beneficial to her, or is it in fact a risk, and potentially damageing to the lungs?

Thanks guys
God bless you all and your families always.
Greg
