Below Deck Med Spoilers – What Happened To The Below Deck Star?

The very long caption detailed a lot of pain and a terrifying illness. In a nutshell, Kyle had a bad reaction to “new medication.” However, he was about to “face…the most painful and traumatic bodily experience of [his] life.” The unwell feeling became really bad, and he started the week with “throat pain like none other.” Next, it spread all over his mouth, and other parts of his body. A visit to a clinic revealed a diagnosis of “hand-foot-mouth disease.”

The symptoms of blistering and pain got worse for the Below Deck star. So, Zachary took him to the ER. There, medical professionals rushed him through tests and he discovered he had “Stevens-Johnson Syndrome.” The “serious disorder of the skin and mucous membranes” can cause a “painful rash that spreads with bursting and oozing blisters. Then the top layer of affected skin dies and sheds.” So in fact, he was ill from a bad reaction to the medication and not the disease initially diagnosed.
