FREAK BUG STORM Strikes BURNING MAN Site

The Nevada desert is hosting more than just the annual Burning Man festival, it’s also hosting millions of flying, biting, crawling bugs, according to an organizer.

“They’re everywhere. They bite. They crawl all over you. They get up and in you,” the organizer, John Curley, wrote on the festival’s official blog.

“What’s going on? We don’t know. We don’t know how the little critters survive in the heat and the sun. All we know is that if you pick up some wood, you’re likely to uncover hundreds or thousands of the things,” Curley wrote. h/t nbcnews

He said the bugs are so pervasive that one went up a woman’s t-shirt and settled in her bra, while others weaseled through a welding mask and made a home for themselves around another woman’s eyes.

Burning Man, a weeklong arts festival that attracts tens of thousands of people to the remote area of Nevada, starts Aug. 30.
