Put first house under contract. Now infested

Good afternoon y'all, hope all is well!! Good news: Today I put my first house under contract!! (Hoping everything goes as planned!) Bad news: After having her sign the contract I was so excited i went to the house, looked at it... Then I called my parents to tell them the news! One hand cruising, the other holding the phone to my ear. I look at the hand on the steering wheel cause I felt an itch... & Ofcorse there's some blood filled critter crawling on my arm!!!! Then I look down and my WHOLE LOWER TORSO AND UPPER THIGH IS COMPLETELY COVERED IN THEM. I START FREAKING OUT (assuming they were bed bugs) So my dad tells me to get out of my car and take off all of my clothes and ditch them, instead I found the nearest Appartement complex and dived head first into the pool with a 3 piece suit on 😂 I'm currently drying up, & have concluded that they were fleas not bed bugs *Sigh of relief* This is the stuff the gurus don't tell you about, but I'm enjoying every minute of this ride😂 Questions: •I'm still deciding weather or not, I should wholesale this deal or buy it & rent it out. -If I do decide to wholesale it, do I need to take care of the flea infestation or the actual buyer? •Does anyone else have any infestation experiences & did they hinder the deal at all? Thanks you guys, in advance. -Trey
