Jenny McCarthy went through 'six months of living hell' last year when an infected root canal and bad dental implant led to nine surgeries on her mouth followed by constant infections. 
'I started growing these growths on my eye,' the 53-year-old presenter confessed on the podcast Heal Squad x Maria Menounos on Sunday. 
'Yes, it looked like the nastiest whitehead, pus-filled eraser top... oozing infection.' 
McCarthy's 'functional medicine doctor' decided to dig deeper and discovered severe mold toxicity had caused mycotoxin poisoning. 
'Mold releases this toxin in the dust particles and what happens is most people...with good immune systems can handle it,' The Masked Singer panelist said in a sneak peek of this Tuesday's part two obtained by Us Weekly. 
'People with weaker immune systems, people with leaky gut, candida, things I am already fighting [can't].' 
McCarthy was shocked when she realized the 'certain mold' she has can cause seizures. 
'[My doctor] goes, "If this thing that you've got crosses the blood brain barrier, you're going to be in the hospital having seizures,"' 
the former Playboy Playmate recalled. 
'I'm like, "Oh, my God!"' 
After McCarthy was on 'antibiotics for a year' eating 'only soft foods' - she realized 'the mycotoxins made me antibiotic resistant, so no wonder why infection, infection, infection. 
I was taking all these antibiotics that weren't working for me anymore.' 
The two-time Daytime Emmy nominee is now on a heavy-duty mold protocol to combat her onslaught of symptoms. 
On February 18, McCarthy gave a public shout out to the three dentists who 'saved her' in Illinois and California - Dr. 
Dean Lodding, Dr. 
Beth Ann Damas and Dr. 
Ben Javid. 
The Formless Beauty founder seems very cautious about what she puts into her body, though she still embraces beauty treatments like Botox, fillers, fat transfers, and breast implants. 
McCarthy made headlines in 2014 for claiming to The Daily Beast that she 'cured' her son Evan Asher's autism with chelation therapy under the disproven belief that mercury in vaccines causes the lifelong developmental condition. 
The 2025 FOX Winter Preview host welcomed the 23-year-old gamer during her six-year marriage to filmmaker John Asher, which ended in 2005. 
McCarthy is also stepmother to her second husband Donnie Wahlberg's two sons - Xavier, 33, and Elijah, 24 - from his 11-year marriage to realtor Kimberly Fey, which ended in 2010. 
As for her close friendship with US secretary of health and human services RFK Jr., the former View host scoffed: 'I am a walking trigger for people already and have been for 20 years with my vaccine stance. 
I can say I supported Bobby. 
I'm fearful of the vaccine schedule and I love Jesus.' 
'Those three things alone will make people run the other direction.' 
McCarthy currently executive produces and serves panelist duties on the 11-episode 14th season of The Masked Singer, which concludes this Wednesday with a two-hour finale on Fox. 
The Southern Illinois University drop-out is said to earn between $1.25 million and $2.5 million per season on the celebrity singing competition, which was adapted from the South Korean series King of Mask Singer. 
The star - who boasts 6.4 million social media followers - is also every bit the influencer with paid partnerships for brands like Desert Moon Hyperbarics and Wellness, L'AGENCE and Welcome Home Rentals. 
McCarthy's 56-year-old hubby currently executive produces and stars as detective Danny Reagan in the 20-episode inaugural season of Brandon Margolis and Brandon Sonnier's police procedural Boston Blue, which airs Fridays on CBS. 
Boston Blue is a direct spin-off of Wahlberg's prior procedural, Blue Bloods, which concluded in 2024 after 14 seasons. 
The two-time Emmy nominee's nineties boyband, New Kids on the Block, are scheduled to resume their Las Vegas residency at the Dolby Live at Park MGM on June 19. 
The married couple of 11 years originally met in 2012 while appearing as side-by-side guests on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
