Christina Applegate has opened up about how she was left needing to wear nappies after catching a virus from a bad salad.
The Hollywood star detailed the traumatising experience in the latest episode of her podcast, MeSsy which she co-hosts with fellow MS sufferer Jamie-Lynn Sigler. In the instalment - titled Can I Be Honest - Christina reveals how the situation spiralled when she caught Covid-19 from a friend "dropped the ball and went to a bowling alley, and came home with the stuff."
She detailed how the virus then developed into long-term COVID, leading to a chest infection where her heart began to do " weird stuff where it speeds up all of a sudden." She then described how she was "p***ing 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."

A test then diagnosed her with sapovirus, which can cause acute gastroenteritis. She explained: "It is when you ingest the fecal matter of someone else from your food, someone else's poop went into my mouth and I ate it."
She then admitted that she believes she caught the bacteria from a takeout salad she had from a restaurant she has gone to for 15 years adding that she woke up "at three o'clock in the morning in a pool of s---."
The actress continued: "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."
Joining the conversation on adult nappies Jamie-Lynn said: "So adult diapers are a blush pink usually. And they usually have some sort of bow or floral design along the pelvic area. And to be honest, Christina and I have talked about this, putting on an adult diaper, you're not gonna feel sexy. You're never gonna slip one on and be like, 'I'm ready for my day.' It's something you gotta wear because your body is malfunctioning."
Christinarecently confessed that she and a friend donated hundreds of dollars to a charity telethon while high on mushrooms. The Dead To Me star opened up to Dax Shepherd on his Armchair Expert podcast about how she tried mushrooms for "the first and last time" when she was 16.
She then regaled him with the story of how she and her friend called up to donate a stack of cash to Comic Relief using her dad's credit card. She explained: "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."
She continued: "We were laughing so hard that we kept calling on the dial phone to use her dad's credit card to donate money and we did this all night long and we spent like hundreds of dollars and we got in really big trouble."
