"I didn't realize you could have PTSD with mold until I had PTSD from mold poisoning," she explained on the latest episode of The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show podcast. "Anywhere I'd walk, I'd have a histamine reaction. Everywhere I'd go, I'd panic that there was mold even if there wasn't mold in the places," the 54-year-old Singled Out alum added.
McCarthy also recounted a time when one of her panic attacks led her husband, Boston Blue star Donnie Wahlberg, to be very worried about her. The harrowing incident went down at a Las Vegas hotel where the couple was staying last year.
"I woke up with my eyes like a little swollen, and I went, 'There's mold in this room,'" McCarthy recalled. "I literally went in hysterics, I was crying so hard and had a nervous breakdown in that room that my husband never saw me like this, ever."
The actress went on to explain that she had undergone 11 surgeries in just over a year. She began to worry that her body was "falling apart again."
"Everywhere I'd go, I couldn't get in an Uber, because of the fragrance Christmas trees. I was afraid to go into restaurants, the airplanes," she added.
Jenny McCarthy Recently Explained Her Unusual Method of Detoxing Following Amid Health Struggles
In December 2025, McCarthy was diagnosed with mycotoxin poisoning by a doctor. The range of symptoms included rampant chalazions in her eyes, tooth pain, skin rashes, and food allergies. Though the former Playboy model has been in remission for several months, her detox method may seem a bit unorthodox...
Last month, McCarthy, who has been married to Donnie Wahlberg since 2012, revealed she'd been living in a tent in the couple's backyard.
"Because I am paranoid now about basically sleeping anywhere, I live in a tent," McCarthy explained on her podcast in an Oct. 29 episode. "I'm not even joking. That's where this journey has brought me."
"After all of those surgeries, after being diagnosed with Mycotoxin poisoning... I feel a little bit sometimes crazy and like the walls are caving in and paranoid," she added.
Meanwhile, McCarthy and Wahlberg put their Illinois home up for $2.8 million in September. McCarthy's tent probably isn't included.
