    “Alright, get ready with ol’ pink eye for my 30th birthday party! This is just my luck, this would happen to me,” she said in the video.

    “At least the good news is that my party is a rave with 100,000 other people. We’re going to the EDC for the first time in my life. I am just gonna cover this up with sparkles and sunglasses and call it a day!”

    As she began doing her makeup, Madeleine explained how she got the infection.

    She revealed that her husband, DJ Andrew Fedyk, was the one who first contracted it after using “two-dollar green makeup from Spirit Halloween” to dress up as Princess Fiona for the holiday, and later passed it on to her.

    “And then he gave it to me. And to be honest, this is my first run in with conjunctivitis pink eye if you will.”

    “So I really didn’t know that it was that contagious. I thought that he got it from the makeup. I didn’t know that I could get it. So I was definitely nowhere near as cautious as I should have been with him,” she continued.

    While applying her makeup, she proceeded with caution, selectively using products she claimed she could risk contaminating, while avoiding others she “could not.”

    The influencer attended the massive EDC festival in Orlando, Florida, a bash packed with electronic dance music, full-size carnival rides, performers, and art installations.

    However, fans were quick to call her out for showing up with a visibly contagious infection.

    In the clip, both her eyes appeared reddish-pink and swollen, prompting many to slam her decision to join thousands of fellow ravers despite her condition.

    One critic wrote, “I will say this gently but going out with pink eye is wild. Why go to a rave if you know you have conjunctivitis, sincerely a healthcare worker.”

    Another commented, “I had pink eye and it was very painful and seriously affected my vision. It is contagious and you shouldn’t be out spreading it to others.”

    “Why would you just go out with a pink eye? It’s so gross, selfish and irresponsible!”

    Still, some fans came to her defense, insisting the backlash was overblown and that it “wasn’t a serious disease.”

    One supporter wrote, “Everyone forgets she’s English. Trust me conjunctivitis (pink eye) is not a big deal here. We don’t stay home… She’s doing what we would do.”

    “Why the uproar over pink eye? It’s not as contagious as Covid or flu and certainly not as deadly. You have to get really close to someone to catch it.”

    In a follow-up post, White revealed her final festival look, a sheer tank top with pink floral lace embroidery, sparkly pink shorts, a matching scarf, and white sneakers.

    She completed the outfit with large black sunglasses, joking, “How will they know? They’ll never know.”

    According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pink eye “is very contagious” if caused by viruses or bacteria.

    It can easily spread through several means, including touching the eyes and then another person or surface, sharing towels, or coming into contact with infected tears or discharge.

    Yeah, everyone saying pink eye no deal until someone passes it onto a baby. Hope she lost a lot of followers and got schooled by medical professionals.

    For those screaming 'it's not a big deal!!', to some it is a huge deal. For most of his life, my dad was blind in 1 eye due to a detached retina. That wasn't a problem, he adapted very well. About 15 years ago, he started having problems with his good eye. At that point, conjunctivitis could have blinded him permanently. We had to be super careful around him. And I'm certain he isn't the only human with that problem. Unfortunately, my dad now has macular degeneration & is 99% blind but is coping amazingly well for a guy in his eighties!
