Health workers at Glastonbury have warned festival-goers that they are at risk from dysentery after the site was turned into a swamp by storms on Thursday.
The downpours, which washed more than 100 tents away, also swept away portable toilets, depositing their contents into flooded campsites.
Teams have since been testing the 1,000-acre site for infections such as dysentery and e-coli and have set up showering facilities with enough capacity for more than 600 people an hour.
Chris Malcolmson, senior environmental health officer at Glastonbury, said: “We are urging people to avoid mud-diving. We have also seen some people swimming in pools of water, which is not a good idea.”
