@dr.chad.md: If anyone has participated in this before, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it first hand below. For those who haven't, Would you take part in this tradition? Every year, the village of Gumatapura, India, celebrates the unique Gorehabba festival—better known as the “cow dung fight.” Locals and visitors gather to hurl cow poop at each other in a spirited tradition believed to bring prosperity and cleanse sins. While it’s a sight to behold, participating in the festival carries some health risks. Exposure to cow dung can lead to bacterial and parasitic infections, including E. coli, Salmonella, and potential skin or respiratory issues. #Gorehabba #CowDungFestival #IndiaCulture #UnusualFestivals #TraditionVsHealth
