AceShowbiz - Christina Applegate, the star of "Dead to Me", recently detailed a harrowing experience with sapovirus, a virus typically transmitted through fecal-oral contact. She graphically described the illness as "pissing out of my ass for a few days."
Applegate shared her experience in the April 23 episode of her "MeSsy" podcast. Waking up in the middle of the night soaked in feces, she attributed the illness to a case of COVID-19 that she had contracted from someone close to her. Her immunocompromised state due to MS led to more severe COVID symptoms, including a chest infection and a racing heart rate.
Amid her illness, a stool test confirmed Applegate's diagnosis of sapovirus. She believes she contracted the virus from a takeout salad from a restaurant that was closing down for an unrelated reason. The virus is highly contagious and can spread through contaminated food or water.
Applegate's experience with sapovirus and her ongoing battle with MS have given her strong opinions about adult diapers. She expressed frustration with their decorative designs, sarcastically suggesting that they imply "you wanna get down and dirty in my diaper lingerie with my own urine."
Despite her health challenges, Applegate remains candid and humorous about her experiences. She joked about her illness leading to "three weeks of being sick," but also acknowledged the serious impact it has had on her life.
