| == Daniel in LA ==
| |
| In 2022, Immediately following the [[December 10th Incident]], Bob purchased a ticket for Daniel to be flown to Los Angeles on the last flight out of Colorado Springs that day. It was heavily speculated by the community that he would be institutionalized in California due to the 5150 laws, allowing for the involuntary psychiatric hold of individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others. Little information was given following his arrival, other than this statement:
| |
|
| |
| ''"Well California was great I'm hoping back on the plane and going back to Texas now going to do a performance in Texas tomorrow night and then I'm going to be performing at a bar down there who knows where I'll be the next day in one week I'm going back to Denver Colorado see you all soon"'' - Daniel Larson on YouTube a community post.

| |
| == Los Angeles Arc ==
| |
| After this message, Daniel would continue to claim that he was in Texas for a few days.
| |
|
| |
| He ended up giving up on this lie though, upon the realization everyone was aware it was a lie. In LA, Daniel would go to strip clubs, visited Scientology centers, and considered enrolling in college.
| |
|
| |
| In some YouTube community posts from this time, he would also claim that he wanted to drop his disability services and that he had no control over his life, while claiming the next day that being in California meant "[he could] be in control of [his] own life".
| |
|
| |
| On December 17, 2022, Daniel would successfully host a fan meetup, having six people visit him on Hollywood Boulevard.
| |
|
| |
| === Disneyland ===
| |
| On January 17<sup>th</sup>, 2023, thanks to fans, Daniel was able to enjoy a day at Disneyland.
| |
|
| |
| Daniel had been hanging around downtown Disney all morning spreading [[Daniel Larson's health|scabies to kids,]] when the the mod team within the DLR discord begins receiving reports that two of their friends who were at Disney could see Daniel. The two would buy Dan a ticket without being aware of the true extent of Dan's problems, and would hang out with him for a while taking photos.
| |
|
| |
| One of the photos taken ends up in the hands of the DLR discord community who immediately claim ownership of this in what can only be described as an attempt to convince the wider community that they had trolled Dan by buying him tickets to Disney.
| |
|
| |
| As is normal with Dan, the DLR discord's “trolling” went unnoticed and by all accounts Dan had a great time at Disney. While there Daniel uploaded many videos detailing his day. It started with a video claiming that he will need to collect donations for a $50 tour that was available in the park.
| |
|
| |
| He later got a churro and ate it while on a merry-go-round.
| |
|
| |
| === Scabies ===
| |
| When Daniel first arrived in Los Angeles, he had no luggage or belongings. As a result, he spent over 125 days with the same clothing on. This, paired with no showers & frequently sleeping in porta-potties and garages, was a catalyst for Daniel [[Daniel Larson's health|contracting scabies]]. Scabies is a disease where mites burrow deep in your skin and cause intense itching, typically contracted when one has poor hygiene. Daniel often roughly scratched his skin to relieve the itching, but his dirty fingernails only made the situation worse. Finally, Daniel went to the emergency room, where he was officially diagnosed with Scabies. He was prescribed an $80 lotion, but instead used his money to buy stocks and desserts at fancy restaurants.
| |
|
| |
| Because scabies is a very spreadable disease, members of California became concerned about the public health threat Daniel was imposing. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10giimx/larson_got_famous_in_anaheim_109_shares_81/ Warnings of Daniel went viral on Facebook], and members of his own community became concerned with the possibility of a deep infection.
| |
|
| |
| The climax of the Scabies Arc began in late January of 2023. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIrC8WqimSM Daniel posted an ominous video] of him having extreme itchiness due to the bugs living in his skin. His scratches were so ferocious, he caused himself to bleed severely. Within hours, Daniel sought medical help at an emergency room again, this time receiving a shot of Ivermectin and getting a washcloth bath from a nurse. As a result of the drugs being injected, [https://web.archive.org/web/20230131022723/https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10pdrf5/bro_what/ Daniel made a goodbye post] to the creatures that had been living under his skin for the prior month.

|
| |
| Following this visit to the hospital, Daniel did end up getting a new t-shirt, and symptoms died down.
