These wild bites which have been in full swing for several weeks already in France, this time took place mainly on the concert part according to our colleagues from La Dépêche.
Quickly taken care of, the victims were affected while nearly 40,000 festival-goers were present. “These cases have been medically certified by the medical profession,” said Arnaud Bourda, sub-prefect of Villeneuve-sur-Lot.
If no case had been identified during the first evening of Garorock, the rescuers had nevertheless expressed certain “suspicions”. In order to confirm or not these, toxicological analyzes were carried out.
The sub-prefect also added that “The malicious nature of these bites will be verified as part of a judicial investigation”.
