Overview
- McCarthy, speaking Tuesday on Maria Menounos’ Heal Squad podcast, said she is three months into a heavy‑duty mold protocol that she expects to follow for about a year.
- She said the cascade began after a root canal was not fully cleaned, which left “toxic pools” in her jaw and led to repeated dental infections and nine mouth surgeries in 2025.
- The actress described eye lesions that oozed and returned after removal, rejected dental implants, severe insomnia, and leg cramps, with a year on antibiotics offering little relief.
- A functional medicine doctor tested for mold in December and diagnosed mycotoxin poisoning, and she said the toxins left her antibiotic‑resistant as infections kept coming back.
- Her doctor warned that one mold she carries could trigger seizures if it crossed the blood‑brain barrier, and she now follows an intensive regimen as she reports gradual improvement.
