[[File:DanielsAwfulBody.png|thumb|Is this physique natty attainable?]]
A predominant theme in the [[Daniel Larson]] saga is Daniel's obvious chronic mental health issues, and the fact that anyone with two eyes can see that he is obviously not in good physical or mental health. Considering his lack of exercise, poor nutrition, refusal to bathe and the grave uncleanliness of his surroundings, he has developed potentially life-threatening conditions out of pure negligence and uncare.  
A predominant theme in the [[Daniel Larson]] saga is Daniel's chronic mental health issues and his deteriorating physical health. Daniel is considered by many to have poor nutrition. He has refused to bathe despite the general uncleanliness of his surroundings. Lack of hygiene can bring higher risk to diseases and bacteria. <ref>https://www.cdc.gov/hygiene/fast-facts.html</ref>
 
His mental health issues is a driving factor behind a majority of his decisions is definitely an indirect cause of his [[Homeless Arc|homelessness]], [[Daniel's Criminal History|police record]], and his internet fame/infamy, however, this does not excuse his actions.  


==Physical Health==
==Physical Health==
Daniel Larson's physical health, despite being very poor, is much better than his mental health, but not by very much. Due to being homeless, lazy, a strong detester of most forms of [[Daniel's Hygiene|hygiene]], and not the brightest person when it comes to sanitation (i.e. the [[The Poop Rag|poop rag]] incident), he is at high risk of disease and infection. His various [[Daniel's Criminal History|warrants]] have listed his basic information- he is a 5'10" male Caucasian who weighs about 115 pounds, which is underweight for a man of that height, but there is much to learn underneath that.
Due to often being homeless, having an aversion to most forms of [[Daniel's Hygiene|hygiene]], and considered to be unsanitary (e.g. the [[The Poop Rag|poop rag]] incident), he is at high risk of disease and infection. <ref>https://www.cdc.gov/hygiene/fast-facts.html</ref> His various [[Daniel's Criminal History|warrants]] have listed his basic information; he is a 5'10" Caucasian male who weighs about 115 pounds (equivalent to a BMI of 16.4), which according to the Center for Disease and Control is underweight. <ref>[[File:Image213124.png|thumb]]
[[File:Daniel-Larson-1.jpg|thumb]]
</ref> His hospital records from the [[Red Robin Poisoning]] state a weight of 119 pounds and a BMI of 17.07, which also classifies as underweight.

===Appearance===
[[File:Scabies.png|thumb|A photo of Daniel's scabies rashes]]
One of the many reasons Daniel Larson has gained such a prominent social media following is his odd and frankly unorthodox appearance. His eyes are oddly proportioned, drooping down in an unnatural way, and his [[Daniel Larson's Nose|nose]] is abnormally large, his cranium is slightly smaller than average (possible sign of [[wikipedia:Microcephaly|microcephaly]]) and his mouth is slightly dispostioned, as if falling off of his face.  
 
Daniel Larson, because of his diet, lack of physical activity, and other health issues (especially influenced by his [[Trench Foot|trench foot]]), is not very [[Daniel's Athleticism|physically fit.]]
 
Daniel, in one video, is seen smashing his headphones running at a light pace for less than 3 minutes, and is seen completely winded from the exercise
 
While his appearance may have something to relate with his health, Occam's Razor suggests it's most likely just bad genetics.
[[File:Scabies.png|thumb|A photo of Daniel's scabies rashes]]
===Scabies===
===Scabies===
(see [[Scabies]])
{{main|Scabies}}


Scabies is a highly contagious infection of the skin by the small mite Sarcoptes Scabiei, and it is highly reccomended to people who attempt to meet Daniel in person, to NOT make any type of physical contact with him as it has been noted that he has given people rashes and various other infections from his utter, unreasonable uncleanliness.  
Scabies is a highly contagious infection of the skin by the small mite ''sarcoptes scabiei.'' <ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/scabies/index.html#:~:text=Human%20scabies%20is%20caused%20by,a%20pimple%2Dlike%20skin%20rash. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/scabies/index.html#:~:text=Human%20scabies%20is%20caused%20by,a%20pimple%2Dlike%20skin%20rash.]</ref> Daniel Larson has been medically recognized and treated for having this infection, and as such it is highly recommended to '''avoid''' any physical contact. <ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/scabies/index.html#:~:text=Human%20scabies%20is%20caused%20by,a%20pimple%2Dlike%20skin%20rash. https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/scabies/index.html#:~:text=Human%20scabies%20is%20caused%20by,a%20pimple%2Dlike%20skin%20rash.]</ref>


These mites cause extreme discomfort and possible bleeding, creating pimple-like rashes that can become infected which can be deadly. Scabies is notoriously difficult to treat and extremely easy to spread, with most hospitals destroying the clothes of patients with scabies and putting them in strict containment.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scabies</ref>

Daniel was wearing the same clothes for weeks at a time, not bathing, and even when he did have chances to bathe he did not take them, usually sleeping on the dirty streets and in porta-potties around other homeless people who are highly likely to have carried more, if not the equal amount of diseases he had/has. These are heavy risk factors for a plethora of diseases, especially scabies.

In January of 2023, Daniel started showing off mysterious rashes on his skin, which was met by a great amount of concern for a risk of infection due to him aggressively scratching it and irritating the potential wounds further.

In the same month, [[r/Daniellarson]] diagnosed him with Scabies, which was extremely worrying as Daniel was in Disneyland at the time of diagnosis, and was in close contact of other people on bus and carnival rides, as well as other homeless people who slept near him, as homeless people often do for safety reasons, which potentially only engendered his disease via making it worse.

The community spread warnings of Daniel all over Facebook, warning people to stay away from him and to visit the hospital if they were in close contact.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10giimx/larson_got_famous_in_anaheim_109_shares_81/</ref>

===Trench foot, circulation issues, and foot issues===
(see [[Trench Foot]])


Trench foot is a type of foot damage due to excessive and long-term exposure to moisture, where the foot shows signs of decay and can become painful due to moisture damage.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trench_foot</ref>
===Injuries===


Daniel Larson was diagnosed with the condition after a couple of months of [[Homeless Arc|homelessness]], and Daniel recorded videos of himself in the hospital. His treatment of it is listed below.{{#evt:
==== Assaults, Altercations ====
service=archiveorg
|id=7128085146779061550
}}Daniel, as of recent ''(early 2023)'', has posted that he has been wearing the same, [[Mold Socks|moldy socks]] from a month ago and that his feet are appearing black,<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10ezoww/danderson_says_his_trench_foot_blisters_are/</ref> smelling, and bleeding profusely.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10ezoww/danderson_says_his_trench_foot_blisters_are/</ref> This is, to put it lightly, extremely alarming as it is a possible sign of necrosis.


This is an extremely alarming issue that needs immediate treatment, as trench foot that reaches necrosis usually warrants amputation of the foot to prevent inevitable and unpreventable circulation issues and infection.
===== Bodega Injuries =====
During the New York arc on April 5th, 2023, Daniel had a large, distinctive laceration on his nose as a result of the Bodega Incident. Daniel kept picking off the scab, showing a hole in his nose. Several of his videos were hidden by TikTok by how gory they were. During this incident, Daniel [[Bodega Incident|assaulted a worker at a bodega]] after he was harassed and agitated by a couple of teenagers.  


However, upon the [https://www.reddit.com/r/daniellarsonfans/comments/12wupzo/open_if_you_dare/ surfacing of closer photos of his feet], it is very apparent that he does not have necrosis, or has an early stage of it. Daniel has a large plantar wart at the bottom of his heel, which is not very severe, but what he does have that is concerning is discoloration of the foot, and odd splotches at the sole of his foot, which ''could'' be early necrosis, but probably isn't.
Daniel sustained multiple injuries, including a black eye and this large cut on his nose. He was worried about a potential concussion, but after a screening at a hospital, no concussion nor fractures was found.


A major concern now is a possible blood clot or circulation issues. Daniel has constant inflammation and discoloration of his ankle below, and he has talked about losing feeling in his foot, so those are both major red flags for such an issue.
He could be seen later with gauze in, and a bandage on his nose.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWMP1Dmz1dc&ab_channel=DanielLarsonCurator</ref>


==== Other foot issues ====
===== Fan assault =====
On February 23rd, 2023, after a two-week absence during the [[Las Vegas Arc]], re-appeared on social media claiming that two fans attacked him on [[Fremont Street|East Fremont Street]].


* Inflammation around ankle
Allegedly, the two fans greeted Daniel outside of a casino and led him down to Fremont, where they pushed him down, kicked him, and stole his phone. While this attack is serious, it seems like Daniel has no permanent injuries.
** Daniel's ankle is massively inflamed<ref name=":2">https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10m21eg/his_fucking_foot_ew/</ref> and consistently so, which is extremely worrying. It could be sign of infection, injury, too much walking (reminder that he needs to stay off his feet to heal his trench foot), and most worryingly lack of proper blood flow to the area. It could also be lymphedema, which can be a result of bacteria or some sort of contamination.
* Blister
** Daniel has a massive blister at the heel of his foot.<ref name=":2" /> Considering what kind of person Daniel is, he will likely break it and it may get infected.
* Plantar warts
** Daniel has multiple plantar warts on his feet, which are completely benign and will likely resolve themselves.


===Hypodontia & dental issues===
==== Self-harm ====
Hypodontia is the developmental absence of one or more teeth, excluding the third molars. In November of 2022, it was confirmed<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/yyzo0q/comment/iwy2onl/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Comment]"I know it wasnt asked this time specifically but I've seen people inquiring about it before:
Daniel will engage in [[Self Harm|self-harm]] by banging his head on objects and hitting himself, usually when he is frustrated, having a [[Meltdowns|meltdown]], or extremely agitated. Daniel has self-harmed many times, most severely in the [[Bob Proctor]] meltdown, wherein Daniel banged his head into his own hands and the dashboard of Bob's car multiple times, even after being told to stop. Daniel also hit himself until he bled during the [[Panera Bread Incident|Panera Bread incident]] on November 10, 2023.  


Daniel is missing teeth due to a condition called Hypodontia. It is when you fail to develop some/all of your adult teeth. It can be inherited or caused by illnesses in infancy. He did have a full set of teeth baby teeth but when the baby ones fell out, there was no teeth to replace them in a few spots.
Head banging and punching oneself while under duress is probably a result of autism, as about 30% of autistic children engage in these behaviors.<ref>https://www.autismparentingmagazine.com/autism-self-harm/</ref> In most cases it is a reaction to a stressor. More information on Daniel’s instances of self-harm can be found [[Self Harm|here]].


He also never brushes them and drinks soda exclusively."</ref> by [[Luke]] during a Reddit Q&A that Daniel is missing teeth due to Hypodontia.<ref>[[wikipedia:Hypodontia|Hypodontia]]</ref>
The aforementioned self-harm may also be a result of bipolar disorder, as up to 50% of sufferers of the disorder exhibit self-harming behaviours and the resultant injuries.<ref>[https://mypsychiatrist.com/blog/psychiatric-disorders-at-risk-for-self-injury/#:~:text=According%20to%20research%2C%20about%2050,by%20psychosis%2C%20which%20feel%20uncontrollable. https://mypsychiatrist.com/blog/psychiatric-disorders-at-risk-for-self-injury/#:~:text=According%20to%20research%2C%20about%2050,by%20psychosis%2C%20which%20feel%20uncontrollable.]</ref>


Daniel, being homeless, does not brush his teeth and likely eats mainly cheap, unhealthy food, which does not help his dental situation at all. He visibly has a misshapen dental arch, and his teeth are yellow and crooked. He most likely has severe cavities in all.{{#evt:

On December 10th, 2022, Daniel streamed an altercation between him and [[Bob Proctor]] on [[Social Media Accounts|TikTok live]], showing him [[Self Harm|hitting himself]] and [[Bob Proctor|Bob.]]
However, upon the [https://www.reddit.com/r/daniellarsonfans/comments/12wupzo/open_if_you_dare/ surfacing of closer photos of his feet], it is clear that he either does not have necrosis, or has an early stage of it (it is unclear which). Daniel has a large plantar wart at the bottom of his heel, which is not very severe, but what he does have that is concerning is discoloration of the foot, and odd splotches at the sole of his foot, which ''could'' be early necrosis<sup>[Citation needed]</sup>.


Throughout the video, Daniel's nose is visibly bleeding and Daniel repeatedly claims that his arm is broken. He would later film himself in an ambulance, but his arm being broken is likely untrue.
A major concern now is a possible blood clot or circulation issues. Daniel has constant inflammation and discoloration of his ankle, and he has talked about losing feeling in his foot.  
[[File:Nose.png|thumb|His nose looks like the continent of Africa]]


==== Nose laceration ====
===== Other foot issues =====
Daniel recently had a large, distinctive laceration on his nose as a result of the Bodega Incident, which is talked about below. Daniel kept picking off the scab, showing a hole ''(please do not picture)'' in his nose. Several of his videos were hidden by TikTok by how purely gory they were. Think lots of blood.

====Fan assault====
=== Dental Health ===
On February 23rd, 2023, after a two-week absence during the [[Las Vegas Arc]], re-appeared on social media claiming that two fans attacked him on [[Fremont Street|East Fremont Street]].
Daniel's poor dental health is exhibited throughout his content. Daniel suffers from hypodontia, which is the developmental absence of one or more teeth excluding the third molars. In November 2022, it was confirmed<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/yyzo0q/comment/iwy2onl/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 Comment]"I know it wasnt asked this time specifically but I've seen people inquiring about it before:

====Bodega incident====
He also never brushes them and drinks soda exclusively."</ref> by [[Luke]], a former management member, during a Reddit Q&A that Daniel is missing teeth due to hypodontia.<ref>[[wikipedia:Hypodontia|Hypodontia]]</ref>
On April 5, 2023, Daniel [[Bodega Incident|assaulted a worker at a bodega]] after he was harassed and agitated by a couple of teenagers.


Daniel sustained multiple injuries, including a black eye and a large cut on his nose. He was worried about a potential concussion, but after a screening at a hospital, no concussion nor fractures was found.
As of November 14, 2023, Daniel is homeless so it is more difficult for him to brush his teeth. He also doesn't want to because of his aversion to general hygiene (and the fact some autistic people have sensory issues related to teeth, though Daniel has never shown any sensory issues). This has lead to general poor dental health including cavities and yellow teeth. Due to his homelessness and lack of money and insurance (and laziness), Daniel may not be able to visit a dentist; his crooked teeth have gone unstraightened. He visibly has a misshapen dental arch. His front 2 teeth are different sizes, possibly from unfixed crowding, and only his front 2 teeth are displayed while talking, possibly a sign of an overbite.


He could be seen later with gauze in and a bandage on his nose.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWMP1Dmz1dc&ab_channel=DanielLarsonCurator</ref>
Overall, due to a lack of a dentist and dental hygiene, Daniel's dental health is extremely poor.


==== Self-harm ====
'''<big>Physical Appearance</big>'''
Daniel often engages in [[Self Harm|self-harm]], such as him banging his head on objects and him hitting himself, usually when he is frustrated, having a [[Meltdowns|meltdown]], or extremely agitated. This has shown itself many times, most severely in the [[Bob Proctor]] meltdown, wherein Daniel bangs his head onto his own hands and the dashboard of Bobs car multiple times, even after being told to stop.


Head banging and punching oneself while under duress is probably a result of his autism, as about 30% of children (keep in mind that Daniel has the mental age of a child) with autism engage in these behaviors<ref>https://www.autismparentingmagazine.com/autism-self-harm/</ref>, but in most cases it is a reaction to a stressor (not that it justifies anything). More information on Daniel’s instances of this can be found [[Self Harm|here]].
Many have speculated that Daniel likely has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome based on his physical appearance. Notably his smaller than usual head, his droopy eyes, and his thin upper lip has been considered to be signs that he may have something of the sort.<ref>https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15677-fetal-alcohol-syndrome</ref> While his mothers impaired state may had added complexity to the situation, it may be no surprise that Elizabeth may have drank during her pregnancy. Oftentimes FAS can lead to stunted development in children, which Daniel demonstrates very clearly.


== Mental Health==
=== Conditions ===
On November 19, 2023, Daniel posted on his YouTube community page that he was in the hospital due to stomach pain. He would later add that he is pre-diabetic and is waiting on confirmation if he has heart issues and skin cancer.<ref>[[File:Daniel Health Nov 19 2023.png|thumb|Daniel's series of posts regarding his health.]]
</ref> Considering that Daniel always eats out at restaurants,<ref>[[Daniel Larson's Diet]]</ref> it is not a surprise that he is pre-diabetic and may have heart issues. Additionally, it is likely that he may develop skin cancer due to years of him being out in the sun all day, so much so that his exposed skin is visibly aged.

=== Autism===
==== Understanding of Sex====
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to a loosely defined amount of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by challenges with social interaction and communication.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism_spectrum</ref>
Daniel has an extremely poor and warped view of sexual intercourse, mostly stemming from his stunted sexual development, comprehension skills, and mental age. This is most likely a factor behind his alleged [[pedophilia]], and also potentially even because of [https://daniellarson.wiki/index.php/Pedophilia#Daniel's_Sexual_Deviance_and_Possible_Sexual_Trauma sexual abuse in his past]. Though this is not an excuse/justification for this.
[[File:Daniel Group Chat Messages 1.png|thumb|541x541px|"Who has had sex and who hasn't"]]
[[File:Daniel Group Chat Messages 2.png|left|thumb|"Who has had sex and who hasn't" "I have not" ]]
Daniel has an incredibly childish view of sex and what sex is like, so much so that Daniel idolizes it and has odd ideas of how sex works. He knows very little about sex; he is noticeably confused about basic sexual terminology. For example, Daniel has called ejaculation "..the peeing feeling"<sup>[Citation needed]</sup>. Most of Daniel's sexual fantasies are recreations of what he pictures within his mind and not from  sexual experience. Daniel has admitted on various occasions that he is a virgin.


Daniel Larson is autistic, which is a major driving force behind his naïveté, lack of social skills, and [[Meltdowns|frequent meltdowns]].
Daniel seems very interested in furthering his sexual education, often asking people via private messages if they have had sex, what it felt like, and other similar questions. Even in group messages, Daniel did not shy away from showing his unbridled sexual inquiries.


===ADHD===
A person who was in one of these group chat documents their experiences, posted on the r/daniellarson subreddit.<blockquote>
ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity that are either impairing or age-inappropriate.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_hyperactivity_disorder</ref>
''"He has an incredibly childish view of sex and what sex is like, to the point he idolizes sex and has very weird fantasies and ideas of how sex works. This furthers the point that he has a very childish mind, potentially even because of sexual abuse in the past."''


Daniel Larson has ADHD, which is a large factor in his lack of [[Daniel's Money|financial skills]] and [[Homeless Arc|homelessness]], his impulsivity, and lack of foresight resulting in him [[Daniel Larson's Gambling|gambling]] and blowing all of his money, or buying things he doesn’t need like $40 nachos or [[Headset Era|headphones]].
''"He’s VERY intrigued on furthering his sexual education. Kinda like how when most of us had to watch “the movie” growing up before graduating elementary school. It was funny, it was new, and just the prospect of talking about it in school was kinda exciting when we were like 11. Back in 2021 Daniel used to add me and a bunch of people from the Larson lore (i.e. Sabbath, Lil Sid, etc) to these group chats where he’d literally be like “Okay so has anyone ever had sex? What did it feel like? Was it warm? What did you think about during it?”'' ''Super strange, he’d just fire off questions like that. I definitely have screenshots somewhere in Google photos."''<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11sj45w/comment/jcezmr4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>
</blockquote>
[[File:Daniel Group Chat Messages 3.png|left|thumb|445x445px|"Are you ok with telling me what it felt like"]]
Daniel shows a lack of understanding around sex, often wondering and asking if rape feels any good at all. He is very apathetic about consent and to a larger extent, rape. When a troll pretending to be [[Grace VanderWaal]] [https://daniellarson.wiki/index.php/Grace_VanderWaal#Grace_Rape_Troll told him that she was being raped], he asked if it felt good and various other questions as to what being raped was like. This was presumably so Daniel could get off to the thought of his favorite celebrity and long-time crush engaging in sexual activity. Perhaps he asked these questions because the troll was pretending to be Grace, but even people who aren't Grace VanderWaal are asked similar questions.  


=== Bipolar disorder===
This behavior is most likely explained by his ignorance about the world, which causes him to be quite naïve about how bad rape actually is. To Daniel, it is nothing more than another word for sex.
Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder characterized by rapid and extreme mood swings, characterized by periods of depression, abnormal elation, and sometimes psychosis.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder</ref>


Another major driving force behind Daniel's [[Meltdowns]] is his Bipolarism.
===== Pedophilia =====
''Main Article: [[Pedophilia]]''


===Schizophrenia===
Pedophilia has always been a touchy subject for Daniel. During the initial leaking of Daniel's [[Pinterest|Pinterest account]], he had at first attempted to deny all claims that he was a pedophile, pretending he hadn't even known what Pinterest was, before backtracking and boldly admitting it to the camera.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by episodes of psychosis, hallucinations, disorganized thinking, and delusions.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia</ref>


While Daniel having schizophrenia is unconfirmed, him taking Latuda (a schizophrenia medication<ref name=":0">https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-155134/latuda-oral/details</ref>) and often showing delusions (i.e. [[Presidential Campaign]], [[Goldberg Shacklestein]]) and possible episodes of psychosis are major signs he has schizophrenia.
Daniel's pedophilia dates as far back to when he was 18, where he had seen 12 year-old [[Grace VanderWaal]] on ''America's Got Talent''. Daniel's grandmother [[Nancy Shimer]] told Daniel that he would have a chance at dating Grace, which resulted in Daniel's years long obsession  with Grace, sexual fantasies about Grace, and stalking<sup>[Citation needed]</sup>. Even though Grace is now an adult, during the years when Daniel started TikTok she was still underage, and Daniel did not shy away from talking about her in inappropriate ways. When messaging with trolls who  pretended to be Grace, Daniel had (and still presumably has) a habit of sending photos of Grace from her childhood which he attempted to sexualize<sup>[Citation Needed]</sup>.


===Intellectual issues===
Daniel is well aware of the allegations of pedophilia against him, and has vehemently denied it. To try to salvage his reputation, when he spoke to a person he thought was a minor on Kik, [[Pedophilia#Kik sting| he changed his name to "Bill Carter" in an attempt to evade suspicion and throw people off his scent.]] Events such as this highlight that Daniel is [https://www.lacriminaldefenseattorney.com/legal-dictionary/c/consciousness-of-guilt/|fully aware that what he's doing is wrong], although he shows no sign of stopping.
Daniel, as a result of his laundry list of disorders, has a very poor intellect and is unable to properly handle many things necessary to function as an adult. It is possible Daniel may have intellectual disability.


==== Intellect & comprehension====
Additionally, on January 16, 2023, Daniel admitted on a livestream that he is indeed a pedophile, admitting so to "be able to put an end to it", which was screen-recorded by Reddit user Competitive-Poem-206 and posted to the subreddit.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/10dznjh/daniel_admits_to_being_a_pedophile_on_live/</ref>
Daniel is, very apparently, not the brightest bulb and has a very low mental age in comparison with his physical age. This is most apparent in his [[Tennyson Center]] interview, where during the interview, Daniel acts like a 7-year-old despite being 14 at the time of recording.


His young mental age is a likely factor behind his lack of understanding of [[Daniel's Money|money]], and why he almost instantly blows all the money he should be spending on proper meals, housing, and medicine on gambling and luxury goods like electronics, food at expensive restaurants, and on bus rides to nowhere.
===== Sex Toys =====
Daniel has made numerous purchases for sex toys, his go-to toy being a fleshlight, or "pocket pussy".
[[File:Daniel Fleshlight Chat 1.png|thumb|Danny you dirty dog.]]
On July 30th, 2023, he purchased one of them from a sex shop while speaking to another fake [[Grace VanderWaal|Grace]] troll.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/15ei235/more_texts_daniel_sent_to_grace_he_bought_a/</ref> The fleshlight was bought using money that [[Bob Proctor]] had supplied to Daniel to buy essentials such as food, water, and clothes, which he never did.
[[File:Daniel Fleshlight Chat 2.png|left|thumb|Daniel showing off the fleshlight.]]
In these messages, Daniel claims that he was getting something for "us", as if the troll was going to feel Daniel using the fleshlight. Using Bob's money, he purchased a fleshlight from a sex shop (which sex shop is unknown), and showed it off to the troll. Daniel lost the bag he kept the fleshlight in.
[[File:Daniels Fleshlight.png|thumb|292x292px|Daniel showing off his fleshlight on his TikTok account.]]
On August 15th, 2023, Daniel purchased 4 more fleshlights, 2 of them resembling a man's anus. Daniel claimed to have spent $500 dollars that day. Daniel's reasoning for buying all four instead of just one is unknown. Daniel's obsession with buying expensive things instead of saving his resources while homeless is a mystery. Due to Daniel's homelessness, there is a very strong chance that if he ever gets around to using these toys, they will most likely remain uncleaned and absolutely filthy.  


==== Pedophilia & and Understanding of Sex====
When Daniel was arrested in Boulder, a fleshlight could be seen in bodycam footage of the officer searching his backpack. The fleshlight was not removed by the officer.
Daniel has a very poor understanding of sex and consent, probably because of his comprehension skills and mental age. This is definitely a factor behind his [[pedophilia]], mainly his lack of ability to understand consent, which has been displayed to full effect during the [[Sleepy Joe]] incident.


Even without the unconfirmed evidence, Daniel is a confirmed pedophile, him stalking [[Grace VanderWaal]] and talking sexually about multiple children such as [[Skye Brown]].
==Usage of Drugs==
While he doesn't often show it, Daniel has used both prescription and more illicit drugs. He has largely abandoned the usage of prescription drugs likely owing to their high cost and his lack of insurance, but he has drank and consumed marijuana (albeit through a hotbox, and not of his own volition) before. There is no evidence (yet, at least) to suggest Daniel has smoked tobacco or done any hard drugs (which can range in nature from psychedelic mushrooms to methamphetamine.)


Two quotes from u/Intelligent_Cloud_25 (a mental health technician) and u/noway_hoesaye really well summarize Daniel's understanding of sex.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/11sj45w/mental_health_technicians_opinion/</ref><blockquote>
===Alcohol===
''"He has an incredibly childish view of sex and what sex is like, to the point he idolizes sex and has very weird fantasies and ideas of how sex works. This furthers the point that he has a very childish mind, potentially even because of sexual abuse in the past."''
There is some evidence to suggest at least a few of his meltdowns can be attributed to alcohol usage, with at least a part of the [[July 2022 Electronic Destruction Spree|tech destruction spree in July of 2022]] having Daniel claim he slammed a device on the concrete. [[File:Drinky.jpg|thumb]] His alcoholic beverage of choice is beer, with Daniel being known to have stated he was going out for beers at least once. [[File:Gotta have that beer.jpg|thumb]]


''"He’s VERY intrigued on furthering his sexual education. Kinda like how when most of us had to watch “the movie” growing up before graduating elementary school. It was funny, it was new, and just the prospect of talking about it in school was kinda exciting when we were like 11. Back in 2021 Daniel used to add me and a bunch of people from the Larson lore (i.e. Sabbath, Lil Sid, etc) to these group chats where he’d literally be like “Okay so has anyone ever had sex? What did it feel like? Was it warm? What did you think about during it?”'' ''Super strange, he’d just fire off questions like that. I definitely have screenshots somewhere in Google photos."''
Daniel claims alcoholism is part of what ruined his life, stating he was pressured into alcohol (perhaps by past [[Management]]) and became addicted. He can be seen drinking it whenever he is more well off than usual and oftentimes when he is at sporting events, see [[Timeline]]. It is generally believed that if Daniel was better off, his drinking would likely be far more regular, perhaps to the point of it being a problem.
</blockquote>


===Marijuana===
Daniel has been under the influence of marijuana before, though the only evidence of this comes as a result of being hotboxed by fans. Daniel's reaction in this particular case appears to be excitedly screaming and yelling, perhaps as a result of the specific strain of marijuana being a sativa strain, or at the least a sativa-heavy hybrid strain. It could also be possible that Daniel had a negative experience that caused him to panic, although his excitement generally suggests the former.


===Speculated disorders===
===Prescription Medication===
There are many disorders that Daniel is suspected to have a multitude of mental issues.
Daniel, being autistic and mentally ill, needs prescription medication to control himself. In spite of this, he refuses to fill his prescriptions largely because he is lazy and believes he doesn't need them, and also because they are too expensive for him to purchase most of the time, and when he does have money he often spends it on other things he doesn't really need to function. Daniel has refused to take his scabies medication because he couldn't afford the $90 to refill it, which caused it to become severe enough to require a hospital trip (see Scabies treatment below).


====Anxiety====
Daniel is currently prescribed Latuda and one other unknown medication.
Daniel Larson is often unable to properly respond to tense situations, such as the [[Planet Fitness Bathroom Incident]], but this is probably a result of autism rather than a form of anxiety.

Revision as of 18:57, 17 June 2024

Is this physique natty attainable?

A predominant theme in the Daniel Larson saga is Daniel's chronic mental health issues and his deteriorating physical health. Daniel is considered by many to have poor nutrition. He has refused to bathe despite the general uncleanliness of his surroundings. Lack of hygiene can bring higher risk to diseases and bacteria. [1]

Physical Health

Due to often being homeless, having an aversion to most forms of hygiene, and considered to be unsanitary (e.g. the poop rag incident), he is at high risk of disease and infection. [2] His various warrants have listed his basic information; he is a 5'10" Caucasian male who weighs about 115 pounds (equivalent to a BMI of 16.4), which according to the Center for Disease and Control is underweight. [3] His hospital records from the Red Robin Poisoning state a weight of 119 pounds and a BMI of 17.07, which also classifies as underweight.

Scabies

Main article: Scabies

Scabies is a highly contagious infection of the skin by the small mite sarcoptes scabiei. [4] Daniel Larson has been medically recognized and treated for having this infection, and as such it is highly recommended to avoid any physical contact. [5]

Scabies mites cause extreme discomfort and possible bleeding, creating pimple-like rashes that can become infected. Scabies is notoriously difficult to treat and extremely easy to spread, with most hospitals destroying the clothes of patients with scabies and putting them in strict containment.[6]

Daniel Larson first showed signs of scabies sometime in early 2023 during the Las Vegas Arc, when he was homeless in Las Vegas.

Daniel was seen wearing the same clothes for weeks at a time and not bathing even when he had the chance to. Streets are knowingly not clean, and in porta-potties around other homeless people who were highly likely to have carried disease. [7]

In January of 2023, Daniel started showing off mysterious rashes on his skin, which was met with concern about a risk of infection due to him aggressively scratching and irritating the potential wounds further.

In the same month, r/daniellarson armchair-diagnosed him with scabies, which was worrying as Daniel was in Disneyland at the time of diagnosis, and was in close contact of other people on bus and carnival rides, as well as other homeless people who slept near him.

The community spread warnings of Daniel all over Facebook, warning people to stay away from him and to visit the hospital if they were in close contact.[8]

Daniel eventually visited the hospital in January of 2023 and was given treatment. A video of a very drugged-out Daniel bidding goodbye to his scabies exists on the Scabies page alongside more information.

Injuries

Assaults, Altercations

Bodega Injuries

During the New York arc on April 5th, 2023, Daniel had a large, distinctive laceration on his nose as a result of the Bodega Incident. Daniel kept picking off the scab, showing a hole in his nose. Several of his videos were hidden by TikTok by how gory they were. During this incident, Daniel assaulted a worker at a bodega after he was harassed and agitated by a couple of teenagers.

Daniel sustained multiple injuries, including a black eye and this large cut on his nose. He was worried about a potential concussion, but after a screening at a hospital, no concussion nor fractures was found.

He could be seen later with gauze in, and a bandage on his nose.[9]

Fan assault

On February 23rd, 2023, after a two-week absence during the Las Vegas Arc, re-appeared on social media claiming that two fans attacked him on East Fremont Street.

Allegedly, the two fans greeted Daniel outside of a casino and led him down to Fremont, where they pushed him down, kicked him, and stole his phone. While this attack is serious, it seems like Daniel has no permanent injuries.

Self-harm

Daniel will engage in self-harm by banging his head on objects and hitting himself, usually when he is frustrated, having a meltdown, or extremely agitated. Daniel has self-harmed many times, most severely in the Bob Proctor meltdown, wherein Daniel banged his head into his own hands and the dashboard of Bob's car multiple times, even after being told to stop. Daniel also hit himself until he bled during the Panera Bread incident on November 10, 2023.

Head banging and punching oneself while under duress is probably a result of autism, as about 30% of autistic children engage in these behaviors.[10] In most cases it is a reaction to a stressor. More information on Daniel’s instances of self-harm can be found here.

The aforementioned self-harm may also be a result of bipolar disorder, as up to 50% of sufferers of the disorder exhibit self-harming behaviours and the resultant injuries.[11]

Trench Foot

Main Article: Trench Foot

Trench foot is a type of foot damage caused by excessive and long-term exposure to moisture, where the foot shows signs of decay and becomes painful due to moisture damage.[12]

Daniel Larson was diagnosed with the condition after a couple of months of homelessness, and Daniel recorded videos of himself in the hospital. His treatment of it is listed below.

Daniel in early 2023 posted that he has worn the same moldy socks for months and that his feet are black,[13] stinking, and bleeding profusely.[14]

However, upon the surfacing of closer photos of his feet, it is clear that he either does not have necrosis, or has an early stage of it (it is unclear which). Daniel has a large plantar wart at the bottom of his heel, which is not very severe, but what he does have that is concerning is discoloration of the foot, and odd splotches at the sole of his foot, which could be early necrosis[Citation needed].

A major concern now is a possible blood clot or circulation issues. Daniel has constant inflammation and discoloration of his ankle, and he has talked about losing feeling in his foot.

Other foot issues
  • Inflammation around ankle
    • Daniel's ankle is massively inflamed[15] and consistently so, which is extremely worrying. It could be sign of infection, injury, too much walking (which is not helping his trench foot), or lack of proper blood flow to the area. It could also be lymphedema, which can be a result of bacteria or some sort of contamination.
  • Blister
    • Daniel has a massive blister at the heel of his foot.[15]
  • Plantar warts
    • Daniel has multiple plantar warts on his feet, which are benign and will likely resolve themselves.
  • Foot fungus
    • On a YouTube Short, Daniel showcases his toes. His big toe is green due to a foot fungus, and the nail bed is shifted way back in the toe, presumably from walking long distances in small women's shoes. His other toenails are overgrown and yellow.

Dental Health

Daniel's poor dental health is exhibited throughout his content. Daniel suffers from hypodontia, which is the developmental absence of one or more teeth excluding the third molars. In November 2022, it was confirmed[16] by Luke, a former management member, during a Reddit Q&A that Daniel is missing teeth due to hypodontia.[17]

As of November 14, 2023, Daniel is homeless so it is more difficult for him to brush his teeth. He also doesn't want to because of his aversion to general hygiene (and the fact some autistic people have sensory issues related to teeth, though Daniel has never shown any sensory issues). This has lead to general poor dental health including cavities and yellow teeth. Due to his homelessness and lack of money and insurance (and laziness), Daniel may not be able to visit a dentist; his crooked teeth have gone unstraightened. He visibly has a misshapen dental arch. His front 2 teeth are different sizes, possibly from unfixed crowding, and only his front 2 teeth are displayed while talking, possibly a sign of an overbite.

Overall, due to a lack of a dentist and dental hygiene, Daniel's dental health is extremely poor.

Physical Appearance

Many have speculated that Daniel likely has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome based on his physical appearance. Notably his smaller than usual head, his droopy eyes, and his thin upper lip has been considered to be signs that he may have something of the sort.[18] While his mothers impaired state may had added complexity to the situation, it may be no surprise that Elizabeth may have drank during her pregnancy. Oftentimes FAS can lead to stunted development in children, which Daniel demonstrates very clearly.

Conditions

On November 19, 2023, Daniel posted on his YouTube community page that he was in the hospital due to stomach pain. He would later add that he is pre-diabetic and is waiting on confirmation if he has heart issues and skin cancer.[19] Considering that Daniel always eats out at restaurants,[20] it is not a surprise that he is pre-diabetic and may have heart issues. Additionally, it is likely that he may develop skin cancer due to years of him being out in the sun all day, so much so that his exposed skin is visibly aged.

Mental health

Understanding of Sex

Daniel has an extremely poor and warped view of sexual intercourse, mostly stemming from his stunted sexual development, comprehension skills, and mental age. This is most likely a factor behind his alleged pedophilia, and also potentially even because of sexual abuse in his past. Though this is not an excuse/justification for this.

"Who has had sex and who hasn't"
"Who has had sex and who hasn't" "I have not"

Daniel has an incredibly childish view of sex and what sex is like, so much so that Daniel idolizes it and has odd ideas of how sex works. He knows very little about sex; he is noticeably confused about basic sexual terminology. For example, Daniel has called ejaculation "..the peeing feeling"[Citation needed]. Most of Daniel's sexual fantasies are recreations of what he pictures within his mind and not from sexual experience. Daniel has admitted on various occasions that he is a virgin.

Daniel seems very interested in furthering his sexual education, often asking people via private messages if they have had sex, what it felt like, and other similar questions. Even in group messages, Daniel did not shy away from showing his unbridled sexual inquiries.

A person who was in one of these group chat documents their experiences, posted on the r/daniellarson subreddit.

"He has an incredibly childish view of sex and what sex is like, to the point he idolizes sex and has very weird fantasies and ideas of how sex works. This furthers the point that he has a very childish mind, potentially even because of sexual abuse in the past."

"He’s VERY intrigued on furthering his sexual education. Kinda like how when most of us had to watch “the movie” growing up before graduating elementary school. It was funny, it was new, and just the prospect of talking about it in school was kinda exciting when we were like 11. Back in 2021 Daniel used to add me and a bunch of people from the Larson lore (i.e. Sabbath, Lil Sid, etc) to these group chats where he’d literally be like “Okay so has anyone ever had sex? What did it feel like? Was it warm? What did you think about during it?” Super strange, he’d just fire off questions like that. I definitely have screenshots somewhere in Google photos."[21]

"Are you ok with telling me what it felt like"

Daniel shows a lack of understanding around sex, often wondering and asking if rape feels any good at all. He is very apathetic about consent and to a larger extent, rape. When a troll pretending to be Grace VanderWaal told him that she was being raped, he asked if it felt good and various other questions as to what being raped was like. This was presumably so Daniel could get off to the thought of his favorite celebrity and long-time crush engaging in sexual activity. Perhaps he asked these questions because the troll was pretending to be Grace, but even people who aren't Grace VanderWaal are asked similar questions.

This behavior is most likely explained by his ignorance about the world, which causes him to be quite naïve about how bad rape actually is. To Daniel, it is nothing more than another word for sex.

Pedophilia

Main Article: Pedophilia

Pedophilia has always been a touchy subject for Daniel. During the initial leaking of Daniel's Pinterest account, he had at first attempted to deny all claims that he was a pedophile, pretending he hadn't even known what Pinterest was, before backtracking and boldly admitting it to the camera.

Daniel's pedophilia dates as far back to when he was 18, where he had seen 12 year-old Grace VanderWaal on America's Got Talent. Daniel's grandmother Nancy Shimer told Daniel that he would have a chance at dating Grace, which resulted in Daniel's years long obsession with Grace, sexual fantasies about Grace, and stalking[Citation needed]. Even though Grace is now an adult, during the years when Daniel started TikTok she was still underage, and Daniel did not shy away from talking about her in inappropriate ways. When messaging with trolls who pretended to be Grace, Daniel had (and still presumably has) a habit of sending photos of Grace from her childhood which he attempted to sexualize[Citation Needed].

Daniel is well aware of the allegations of pedophilia against him, and has vehemently denied it. To try to salvage his reputation, when he spoke to a person he thought was a minor on Kik, he changed his name to "Bill Carter" in an attempt to evade suspicion and throw people off his scent. Events such as this highlight that Daniel is aware that what he's doing is wrong, although he shows no sign of stopping.

Additionally, on January 16, 2023, Daniel admitted on a livestream that he is indeed a pedophile, admitting so to "be able to put an end to it", which was screen-recorded by Reddit user Competitive-Poem-206 and posted to the subreddit.[22]

Sex Toys

Daniel has made numerous purchases for sex toys, his go-to toy being a fleshlight, or "pocket pussy".

Danny you dirty dog.

On July 30th, 2023, he purchased one of them from a sex shop while speaking to another fake Grace troll.[23] The fleshlight was bought using money that Bob Proctor had supplied to Daniel to buy essentials such as food, water, and clothes, which he never did.

In these messages, Daniel claims that he was getting something for "us", as if the troll was going to feel Daniel using the fleshlight. Using Bob's money, he purchased a fleshlight from a sex shop (which sex shop is unknown), and showed it off to the troll. Daniel lost the bag he kept the fleshlight in.

On August 15th, 2023, Daniel purchased 4 more fleshlights, 2 of them resembling a man's anus. Daniel claimed to have spent $500 dollars that day. Daniel's reasoning for buying all four instead of just one is unknown. Daniel's obsession with buying expensive things instead of saving his resources while homeless is a mystery. Due to Daniel's homelessness, there is a very strong chance that if he ever gets around to using these toys, they will most likely remain uncleaned and absolutely filthy.

When Daniel was arrested in Boulder, a fleshlight could be seen in bodycam footage of the officer searching his backpack. The fleshlight was not removed by the officer.

Usage of Drugs

While he doesn't often show it, Daniel has used both prescription and more illicit drugs. He has largely abandoned the usage of prescription drugs likely owing to their high cost and his lack of insurance, but he has drank and consumed marijuana (albeit through a hotbox, and not of his own volition) before. There is no evidence (yet, at least) to suggest Daniel has smoked tobacco or done any hard drugs (which can range in nature from psychedelic mushrooms to methamphetamine.)

Alcohol

There is some evidence to suggest at least a few of his meltdowns can be attributed to alcohol usage, with at least a part of the tech destruction spree in July of 2022 having Daniel claim he slammed a device on the concrete.

Drinky.jpg

His alcoholic beverage of choice is beer, with Daniel being known to have stated he was going out for beers at least once.

Gotta have that beer.jpg

Daniel claims alcoholism is part of what ruined his life, stating he was pressured into alcohol (perhaps by past Management) and became addicted. He can be seen drinking it whenever he is more well off than usual and oftentimes when he is at sporting events, see Timeline. It is generally believed that if Daniel was better off, his drinking would likely be far more regular, perhaps to the point of it being a problem.

Marijuana

Daniel has been under the influence of marijuana before, though the only evidence of this comes as a result of being hotboxed by fans. Daniel's reaction in this particular case appears to be excitedly screaming and yelling, perhaps as a result of the specific strain of marijuana being a sativa strain, or at the least a sativa-heavy hybrid strain. It could also be possible that Daniel had a negative experience that caused him to panic, although his excitement generally suggests the former.

Prescription Medication

Daniel, being autistic and mentally ill, needs prescription medication to control himself. In spite of this, he refuses to fill his prescriptions largely because he is lazy and believes he doesn't need them, and also because they are too expensive for him to purchase most of the time, and when he does have money he often spends it on other things he doesn't really need to function. Daniel has refused to take his scabies medication because he couldn't afford the $90 to refill it, which caused it to become severe enough to require a hospital trip (see Scabies treatment below).

Daniel is currently prescribed Latuda and one other unknown medication.

Treatment

Two-week mental hospital visit

After threatening people with fireworks, Daniel was put into a mental hospital which he has described as "A living hell"[24], where he was given Latuda, a medication used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.[25]

Scabies treatment

Daniel was diagnosed with scabies in 2023 and was prescribed a lotion. Daniel proceeded to not use the lotion, as he spent the money dedicated towards the lotion on food from The Cheesecake Factory.

Eventually, the scabies became so severe it got to the point he was bleeding out of his skin. Daniel went to the hospital and received a dose of Ivermectin and was cleaned off. Following the visit, his scabies went into remission.

Trench foot treatment

Trench foot isn't a disease and is only treatable, not curable. The doctor told Daniel to keep his feet dry, limit his walking, change his socks often, and find a homeless shelter or hotel to sleep at. Daniel proceeded to do none of this.

Trench foot, if it gets severe enough, can require amputation. This is a severe disorder, and recently Daniel has posted videos of his feet bleeding due to damage.

Caretakers, assisted living, and case managers

Daniel Larson has lived in multiple assisted living facilities with multiple caretakers, which were coordinated by a multitude of case managers.

Daniel has run away from his caretaker Jonas' house. Daniel has chosen to be homeless rather than be in the same house as him due to a multitude of incidents, like his fight with Jonas and him thinking that his caretaker poisoned his Mac n' Cheese.

Red Robin Poisoning

Main article: Red Robin Poisoning

Daniel admitted himself to the hospital on April 11, 2024 complaining about a "stomach bug" after vomiting a lot, likely from poisoned food from Red Robin. He was discharged a day later, before coming back due to migraines.
