You have such fond memories of it… That's why you haven't cut the festival bands on your wrist yet. An Australian radio station investigated how many bacteria such a tape contains.

But even after a short time, bacteria can already be found on a tape. Bacteria are not always harmful, but wearing a bracelet for six years is not very fresh. Watch the video below.
