I suffer for four days with the worst sinus/upper resp infection - would love to avoid it. Any ideas or tricks people use? I really dont want to wear a mask.

Take some aspirin with you and take it preventatively each morning.

Also, bring a bandana to put in front of your mouth and nose to prevent the dust from getting into your respiratory system.

And pray to the Bonnaroo gods that you'll have a good time this time! No worries!

Local honey is good for local allergens. Snorting a little goldenseal will clear a sinus infection. Burns like hell, but works for me every time.

I'm taking some allegra with me and my flonase spray just to be on the safe side because my allergies are horrendous, and my sinuses always get inflamed.

I'm also bringing benadryl just in case I get some funky rashes or anything... you never know when you might have an allergic reaction!
