Yeah, the dust messed me up pretty bad.
Despite walking around holding a washcloth over my face when it got bad (often), I would go into uncontrollable sneezing fits once in a while. Miserable. I guess I'm allergic to Roo dust.
I think in my abused & dusted state I must've caught RooFlu, since my voice still isn't back, lungs are still messed up, nose still alternating between totally clogged & runny. I hit the NyQuil last night & DayQuil all day today.
Not complaining, just stating. If you escaped unscathed, count yourself lucky.

Didnt really have that much problem with the dust, yeah it sucked but I was at Bonnaroo so I coped with it I guess...I was on a farm in Tennessee in June so I wasnt too surprised...

BOO. i'm totally in the same boat. i feel like the walking dead. all wheezy and stuffy/runny.
oh, and my eyes have been dripping to the point where it looks like i'm sobbing. really funny to ride the EL to work when everyone is staring at you, thinking you are having a breakdown. it's totally hilarious.
please tell me the dayquil & nyquil regimen helped at least a little? that's what i'm going to try out for today.

Bonnaroo was great, but i left the farm just under 3 days ago and i'm still coughing up black stuff. I can totally relate to the nose being clogged... then runny and making me cough, then dry and scrathy and clogged, then back to leaking nose again. i think it's just a combination of coming back sopping wet from the sweat and the temp. dropping to like 40 at night, then 3 hours later it being 92 again and the dust.

Dust is definitely worse than mud, people! The dust and heat even took out poor Ornette Coleman! Mud wouldn't do that! It took me out too, Sunday was the worst for me, the other days I dealt with it. Unfortunately I was so worn out that by the White Stripes, the dust took its toll and I didn't really get to enjoy WSP.
I still haven't put in contacts again, my eyes feel like I have been running through a big pile of pollen for 4 days. I still have no regrets though, all part of the party.
I had crazy sinus congestion Sunday and Monday, now it's developed into a chest cold. Ugh. I felt bad snotting everywhere during the weekend, but had to get the dust out of my nose!

I had black crud coming out of my nose all weekend when I sneezed. For a little while I was worried something might be wrong with me, but then I just grabbed another beer and said to hell with it.
There is nothing worse than feeling very lovely and blowing your nose and something black coming out and you start thinking it's bugs or dried blood or all sorts of terrible things. Sorta a buzz kill.
I sneezed all weekend, even prepping for it with Claritin and other stuff two weeks prior and every day at Bonnaroo. Didn't do a thing. However, my sneezing, hacking, sniffling and blowing didn't ruin my time.
The worst time for the dust was coming back Sunday night to camp - like 50% of the cars had left and the sky was brown and it looked like a post-apocalyptic world or something covered with like nuclear fallout or something. Hard to breathe, but very cool to experience.
Nose spray is a fabu idea - I almost resorted to using my hydrating eye drops in my nostrils. But yes, next year hydrating eye drops again and a nice nose spray are a must in my bag!
Oddly other than the three note sneezes I had at random times at roo, the dust gave me little trouble. Now that I'm home however, I'm truly fucked up, hacking to death etc...
