Attended by roughly 175,000 people each year, the three-day-long music festival is a rite of passage for many music lovers. But it’s also notoriously germy: one scientist found that festival-goers’ wristbands contain a “surprisingly high number” of staphylococci and micrococci bacteria, which can cause infection and food poisoning.

And by the looks of this photograph, those in attendance seem to enjoy doing dirty things while they are there. And that dirty does not contain any sort of positive connotation this is just downright down and dirty. After a certain age, diving and sliding in mud should not be a part of your agenda.
