TV: Woman claims ACL mud gave her rash

06:32 PM CDT on Wednesday, October 7, 2009

By AMY JOHNSTON / KVUE News

While there are plenty of great memories from this year’s Austin City Limits Music Festival, Kathy Okon has a lingering, unpleasant memory that she believes was caused by the mud.

“It is better but… there’s small dots going all the way up my legs. It’s a lot… better,” said Okon.

Okon has a rash on her legs that she believes came from the muddy mess at Zilker Park during the ACL Fest. She is not alone. Twitter, Facebook and the Internet lit-up with similar complaints. Many blame it on Dillo Dirt.

Dillo Dirt was used to fertilize Zilker before the grass was laid-down in early spring.

“It’s true that we do use sewage sludge as one of the components. We also use all the yard trimmings that are picked up around the city,” said Austin Water Utility Engineer Jody Slagle.

Dillo Dirt is composted for weeks at close to 150 degrees, which kills the human disease organisms.

“I use it in my vegetable garden. That’s how comfortable I feel with the product,” said Slagle.

It’s been used around the city since 1987, including public high school football fields, without complaint. Slagle says there are plenty of possible irritants that could be to blame.

“There were over 60,000 people there every day, and we’re all tromping-in and out of port-a-potties that were getting pretty nasty as time went on,” he said.

The smell, by all accounts, was pretty overwhelming.

“The smells I encountered out there were more reminiscent of wet rotting hay or rotting hay,” said Slagle.

“It smelled like a pig farm,” said Okon.

Okon says she’s still pretty freaked out by the rash. A nurse told her it is probably not a fungus, but something she should keep her eye on.

While the anecdotal evidence is out there, official reports are almost non-existent. City of Austin Parks and Recreation says it hasn’t had one rash-related complaint. The Austin Travis County Health Department has had only one.

AT&T Rant

I received a customer service survey from AT&T after purchasing the iPhone yesterday and one of the questions was whether I would recommend AT&T to someone. Since I answered in the negative, the survey asked what my reasons were and I vented a little frustration. Since it's not likely that anyone but a low-level worker at some marketing firm will ever read it, I thought I would take the opportunity to self-publish.

============================

The rates for data plans are too high, especially since I cannot use the data plan to tether my iPhone to my laptop.

The rates for text messaging plans are OBSCENELY high. AT&T is blatantly ripping off their customers, just because they can.

My previous phone was a 1st gen iPhone given to me by a family member. After using the phone several months AT&T cut off the data service without telling me and continued to bill me for it. I was told I could not use my existing data plan, despite the fact that it was working perfectly well, and instead I would have to buy a data plan that costs twice as much, but that did not include any text messages (previous plan included 1500), just because I was using an iPhone.

I live in a very large city in the U.S., yet there are still places in downtown where I have spots of no service on my phone. In other places, including the home where I live, service fluctuates and calls are dropped randomly.

Finally, I believe AT&T has influenced Apple to block the use of applications like Google Voice on the iPhone.

In short, the only reason I am an AT&T customer is that I can't use the iPhone on any other service. If I could try a different service with the iPhone, I would.
