Christina Applegate wore a nappy after 'poop' salad gave her nasty virus amid MS battle
Christina Applegate has opened up about her health woes on her podcast, MeSsy, which she hosts alongside fellow MS warrior Jamie-Lynn Sigler.
Christina Applegate has candidly revealed a rather mortifying health issue, admitting that she had to wear nappies following a nasty virus contracted from a 'poop' salad.
The Hollywood star opened up about her distressing experience on her podcast MeSsy, which she co-hosts with fellow MS fighter Jamie-Lynn Sigler, in an episode fittingly titled Can I Be Honest.
In the revealing conversation, Christina detailed how her ordeal began with catching Covid-19 from a friend who "dropped the ball and went to a bowling alley, and came home with the stuff".
The actress then described how the virus developed into long Covid, leading to a chest infection and erratic heart behaviour, where it would suddenly speed up.
However, further tests revealed she had contracted sapovirus, known for causing severe gastroenteritis.

She explained the disgusting way the virus is caught: "It is when you ingest the faecal matter of someone else from your food, someone else's poop went into my mouth and I ate it."
Applegate didn't shy away from detailing the severity of her symptoms, recounting how she was so unwell that she was "p*ssing out of my a** for a few days to the point where I was so dizzy".
She continued, describing her inability to eat or function normally due to the illness.

Christina revealed a harrowing experience, suspecting that her bacterial infection originated from a takeaway salad from a place she's been visiting for over ten years.
She recounted the ordeal, saying: "I woke up 'at three o'clock in the morning in a pool of s***'."
Christina elaborated on the distressing incident: "I 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."
Continuing with her humorous narrative, she detailed how, under the psychedelic influence, she and a friend generously donated to Comic Relief using her father's credit card.
She recalled: "My friend Mandy and I, we took some mushrooms, I think I was 16, at her house and we starting watching Comic Relief.
"This is how long ago it was - people don't even know what that is - Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal were hosting it."
