‘Playa Cock’: What To Know About The Condition Amid Burning Man Festival Chaos

Once Lake Lahontan 15,000 years ago, the 200-square mile Black Rock Playa, which makes up the setting for the Burning Man Festival, is full of dry, alkaline flats. The Black Rock Desert is the largest example of such and the alkali soil, or soil that has a pH over 7, makes playa cock unique to the area.

Marked by redness, pain and swelling, “Playa Cock” is a chemical burn that Burning Man organizers say is not serious but uncomfortable
Festival organizers recommend attendees wear closed-toe shoes, boots and socks so as to not interact with the playa dust.
If a Burning Man attendee comes in contact with the mud or wishes to prevent it, event organizers recommend washing feet in a mixture of ¼ vinegar and ¾ water a couple of times a day and drying them thoroughly to remove the dust.
 

Trust me... "Lo Siento" for this guy! Back in 2001, I had injured/torn my Rt. Achilles tendon from a fall in the snow in NYC. I had surgery to repair it in Feb. of that year, and had to wear a rigid splint for 6 weeks (better than a full cast for 6 months without the surgery). I had to do crutches and roll around in a wheel chair for those 6 weeks I was in the rigid splint. In fact, I had two separate wheel chairs, one on each floor of my townhouse. I would "butt" up and down the stairs to get to each chair and then roll around. On the top floor, I'd use the crutches.

For "Showering." I had a small shower stall like the above in the master bath. I bought a plastic garden chair to sit in while showering. Full size with a high back and arms. There were holes in the seat, but not that large. :ROFLMAO: I wrapped up the splint in a plastic trash bag and showered away!

I still have that chair to this very day. It's on my outdoor sun porch.
