TV Star Battles Parasite Outbreak | Entertainment and Celebrity News

A reality TV star, 41, battled a vicious Cyclospora parasite infection that left him bedridden with explosive diarrhea and stomach agony—so bad he feared ER but ended up at urgent care, only to be sent home with a stool test. Describing the pain as like Timberland boots in a dryer, he was kept up at night and constantly on the move, desperate for answers. The parasite, which attacks the small intestine and can linger for weeks, is causing a major outbreak in Michigan—with over 4,300 cases and 100+ hospitalized. While he eventually got the right meds, his story is a stark warning: stay vigilant about what you eat, especially when outbreaks are active. He wouldn’t wish this on anyone—especially kids.
