The Interstellar

festival

is one of the most anticipated of spring in southern Spain.

This year the sixth edition has been held, after the blank year due to covid, but what the attendees did not expect is that they were going to have to face a

plague of fleas

.

As several festivalgoers have reported on their social networks, they suffered bites and welts from some kind of bug at the event.

This plague of bites has coincided in time with the arrival in Spain of

monkeypox

.

This has created a stir among attendees and many have confused the hives with the marks left by the virus.

Several concerned festivalgoers went to the emergency room and the

doctors confirmed that it was fleas.

The attendees have created an Instagram account where they are uploading different publications, both memes and their affected bodies, to later file a

joint complaint

.

From the account they affirm that the official website of the festival has blocked them and that

there are more than 200 people affected.

From the

Ministry of Culture

they maintain that they are investigating what happened and assure that the

disinfection of the land

corresponded to the organizing company.

Beyond the inconvenience and the complaints that they intend to make and that they are organizing through a

Telegram group

, with more than 640 members, users are taking the situation with humor.

"The concert of 'las fleas' was incredible, what a surprise, it did not appear on the poster of the intelestellar but what a musical discovery it is," said a follower.

The Interstellar festival took place last weekend on Isla de la Cartuja, on the esplanade in front of the Monastery of Santa María de las Cuevas.

These lands belong to the Ministry of Culture and Historical Heritage of the Junta de Andalucía.
