Now, as Burning Man slowly empties, it’s time to clean up.Burning Man organizers have three weeks to clean up the sprawling stretch of public land in the Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada, but a summer storm that left tens of thousands stranded in ankle-deep mud could alter that timeframe. The annual gathering, which launched on a San Francisco beach in 1986, attracts nearly 80,000 artists, musicians and activists for a week-long mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances. One of the principles of Burning Man is to leave no trace — an expectation that all attendees will pack out everything they brought to Black Rock City and clean out their camps before leaving.

They might be licking at their paws.”Alander-Rivera said doctors at Bond Vet see about three to five dogs per day for allergies. The most common allergy is flea allergies. “When they scratch, that can lead to a secondary infection of the skin and that makes them even more itchy,” Alander-Rivera said. “So, if we can stop it at that first itch, that’s really going to control the issue.” With symptoms in mind, Alander-Rivera said preventative measures are key. “Definitely visit your veterinarian,” she said. “They’ll have a bit...
