Overview
- White, who has about 5.1 million TikTok followers, disclosed conjunctivitis in a Nov. 8 “get ready” video before heading to the EDC Orlando rave.
- She said she would cover red eyes with sparkles and sunglasses and later posted rave photos on Instagram, writing she would be in bed for the foreseeable future.
- Commenters called the decision irresponsible given the infection’s ease of spread in close-contact settings and on shared or contaminated surfaces.
- CDC guidance cited in coverage notes viral or bacterial conjunctivitis is highly contagious, while allergy- or irritant-related cases are not person-to-person.
- White attributed the infection to her husband, Andrew Fedyk, after his Halloween makeup use, and later noted differences in how the U.S. and U.K. treat pink eye.
