Tics.....

It's the Dropbears you particularly want to be careful of, especially dangerous in The Glade

I've still got some pretty nasty scarring from a dropbear in the Glade during Red Snapper in '09.  I was wearing dropbear repellant hairspray as well, so it goes to show how much value that stuff is (I still use it though, just in case).

I've see Scorpions at a festival. They were shite, especially that Gorky Park one.

 

Agreed - to be avoided at all costs

Tics? It's the vampire bats you want to be worrying about...very prevalent in the Pilton area.

Never had any in Glastonbury in all of the years of going. New Forest is another story entirely.

This is a good call - I've had a few over the years. Simply put vaseline over them and they can't breath. After a couple of minutes they let go and you can simply take them off and the STOMP the little barstards into the dirt. The secret is to ensure you do not leave any mouthparts in - so don't force them off.

There's nothing worse than a bad sting at a festival.

I'll let you finish that one off yourself.
