Help From An Unlikely Source
When you start dissecting the unsanitary conditions experienced during the four-day event, things only go downhill. Mud entered everyone’s tents, and let’s not even dive into the subject of bathrooms. People went without clean water and food, but rescue came from an unlikely source.
The U.S. army stepped in to fly in medical supplies and boxes of food provided by the government. Volunteer physicians also joined the event. They weren’t contracted by the festival planners, though. It must be why we never heard about any serious injuries or diseases breaking out during the event.
