Leroy Garrett from The Challenge says he has contracted cyclosporiasis, the “explosive diarrhea” bug that has spread across the United States in recent weeks. “This past weekend, I spent the majority of my time on my toilet,” he said in an Instagram video on Wednesday. Garrett and his wife, fellow The Challenge star Kam Williams, live with their two kids in Michigan, one of the 34 states that have confirmed cases of the disease. Michigan has the highest number of cases at 3,762, as reported by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The state’s health officials have not determined the cause of the surge in cases, but the department has warned Michigan residents about a possible link to lettuce. The star admitted he had “explosive, vicious” diarrhea so bad that he thought he might have to go to the emergency room. “It feel like you got Timberlands in a dryer inside your stomach,” Garrett said. “Imagine putting some Timberlands in a dryer. You know what that would sound like? That’s what your stomach sounds and feels like.”
