Christina Applegate talks of scary health experience that left her in diapers

Christina Applegate candidly shared how she got a virus from a contaminated salad and as a consequence, she had to wear diapers.

The 52-year-old Applegate in the recent episode of her podcast MeSsy podcast which she co-hosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, revealed details related to her health

In the podcast episode titled Can I Be Honest?, Applegate discussed how she contracted COVID-19 from a close friend who "dropped the ball and went to a bowling alley and came home with the stuff."

She said her heart do "weird stuff" after diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) in August 2021, which turned into long-term COVID, causing her to develop a chest infection.

“Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that impacts the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves and controls everything we do,” according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society

She recalled "pissing out of my a-- for a few days to the point where I was so dizzy. I was so sick, I couldn't eat, I couldn't [do] anything." She was diagnosed with sapovirus, after doing a stool test.

Sapovirus is "responsible for both sporadic cases and occasional outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis," per the National Institutes of Health.

"It is when you ingest the fecal matter of someone else from your food," Applegate explained. "Someone else's poop went into my mouth and I ate it."

According to Appelgate, she got the virus from a takeout salad at a restaurant and added that she woke up "at three o'clock in the morning in a pool of s---."

"Didn't know it happened, and having MS at three o'clock in the morning and trying to change your sheets, it's not fun. But this brings me to my next point, which we can talk about: I'm wearing diapers," Applegate said.
