Controversial influencer Sophie Guidolin reveals she has been hospitalised and 'just surviving' after being exposed to household toxin
The controversial social media star said in her stories on Saturday that she is 'literally just surviving' her condition.
The 36-year-old mother-of-four was exposed to the dangerous fungi after her Gold Coast home suffered damage when ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred struck the Queensland coast in March.
Taking to her Instagram stories Sophie said things got so serious for her, that she woke up in hospital to find her father had flown in from Adelaide to be by her side.
And last week the online celebrity has posted distressing shares to her Instagram revealing that her home has been invested with black mould.
'Sorry guys, since the update of hospitalisation on May 6, I am literally just surviving,' she messaged followers earlier this week.

'I opened my eyes to find my dad crying at my condition, after flying from Adelaide,' she continued.
'Thanks to my best friend and the serious legends at PRD in Burleigh, allowing sight unseen whilst I was in hospital, the boys are now secure in a 6 month rental with dad caring for them and trying to navigate everything.
'Please note my phone has been off I am unable to speak and am not ignoring anyone
'Just trying too get better as as possible. Again, I will try and get back to everyone soon as possible.'
In one post she shared with her followers on Saturday Sophie included a public health service chart that detailed health symptoms related to exposure to mould.
Symptoms include sneezing, coughing, red eyes, post nasal drip and nasal congestion.
The chart also warned that exposure to black mould can also 'trigger or worsen asthma symptoms'.
This includes, shortness of breath, wheezing and a dry cough and chest tightness.
Sophie also posted a selfie in which she be seen lying in what appears to be a hospital bed hooked up to health monitors and wearing a face mask.
'I'm not ignoring anyone, just having a quick little retreat,' she joked in the caption and added three laughing emojis.
She also included a second caption that read, 'Laugh or you will cry,' and added a laughing emoji.
It appears the influencer made the post in response to her followers who sent messages asking for a health update.
Meanwhile, Sophie's followers responded with words of support on her Instagram, after he recent update.
'Cyclone Alfred has kicked her ass...the poor love,' wrote one friend, who added,'Home has been destroyed by black mould.'
'Oh honey I'm so glad your dad is here for you and helping with children,' commented another follower.
Elsewhere, Sophie expressed concern about her insurance payout and revealed she was about further spread of the mould through her home.
She also detailed an update on her condition. 'My health is very poor...' she said on Instagram.
'I've had multiple hospital admissions and four IV antibiotics and anti fungals so I am just resting and trying to heal as quick as possible.'
It comes after Sophie made headlines earlier this month after claiming that she will be out of pocket thousands of dollars due to damage from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Sophie jetted off to Europe with her twin daughters Evie and Aria, nine, before the storm made landfall.
The online personality has claimed on Instagram she will have to pay up to $4,000 a week in rent or $76,000 for three months in an Airbnb while she 'rebuilds'.
Sophie shares her twin daughters, and sons Ryder, 15, and Kai, 16, with ex-husband Nathan Wallace.

Three years after his death, cricketer Shane Warne's legacy lives on with heart health checks
Cricketer Shane Warne 's legacy lives on more than three years after the death of the great spin bowler from a heart attack at the age of 52. Warne died in March 2022 after suffering cardiac arrest while on holiday on the Thai island of Koh Samui. The cause of his sudden death led his business team and family to unite to honor his life and create Shane Warne Legacy. The charity set up free heart health checkup machines at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during the past two Boxing Day tests. The results of the stadium checks along with 311 community pharmacy stations across Australia were analyzed as part of a Monash University-led study. A total of 76,085 people were screened across seven weeks from mid-December 2023 to the end of January 2024, including 7,740 at the MCG. The research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology on Friday showed almost seven out of 10 (68.9%) had at least one uncontrolled risk factor for heart disease. Factors were elevated blood pressure readings (37.2%), elevated body mass index (60.5%) and being a smoker (12.1%). Cricket spectators who did the free checks, mostly men aged 35 to 64, had higher rates of elevated blood pressure and body mass index than those screened at pharmacies. Warne revived and elevated the art of leg-spin bowling when he emerged on the international scene in the 1990s and was a central character in one of Australia's most successful eras in the sport. He also was one of cricket's larger-than-life showmen. Warne held the record for the most test wickets with 708 when he retired in 2007 after his 145th match. Only Sri Lanka off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan has passed him, with 800. 'Meeting people where they are, whether that's at their local pharmacy or the MCG, can make all the difference to health outcomes,' said Dr. Sean Tan, a cardiologist and researcher at the Victorian Heart Institute. Warne's long-time personal assistant Helen Nolan said the findings reinforced Shane Warne Legacy's mission to turn his death into a catalyst for change. The charity's chief executive described the results as 'bittersweet.' 'We're proud to have helped thousands take their heart health seriously but we know there's still work to do,' Nolan said. 'Shane would have wanted this to make a massive difference.' ___

Rare ‘brain-eating amoeba' detected in drinking water supplies in Australia
One of the world's most dangerous water-borne microorganisms, commonly called a 'brain-eating amoeba ', has recently been detected in two drinking water supplies in south-west Queensland. Both affected towns are about 750 kilometres west of Brisbane: Augathella (population roughly 300) and Charleville (population 3,000). During an analysis of water samples commissioned by Queensland Health, Naegleria fowleri was detected in the water systems of two health facilities, one in Charleville and one in Augathella, as well as in the incoming town water supply at both facilities. The Shire Council of Murweh, which takes in the two affected locations, issued a health notice for residents and visitors on August 7, warning of the detection of N. fowleri in the water supplies. So what is this organism? And how significant is the risk likely to be in these Queensland towns, and elsewhere? It's rare – but nearly always fatal The N. fowleri amoeba is a microscopic organism found around the world. It only lives in warm freshwater, generally between 25 and 40°C. This can include ponds, lakes, rivers, streams and hot springs. If someone is infected with N. fowleri, it causes what's called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, a serious infection of the brain. Symptoms include a sore throat, headache, hallucinations, confusion, vomiting, fever, neck stiffness, changes to taste and smell, and seizures. The incubation period of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis – the time between infection and symptoms appearing – typically ranges from three to seven days. Tragically, this illness is nearly always fatal, even if someone receives medical attention quickly. Death typically occurs about five days after symptoms begin. Fortunately, though, cases are very rare. In the United States, there were 167 reported cases of primary amoebic meningoencephalitis between 1962 and 2024, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Only four survived. A global review of the disease up to 2018 reported that, of 381 known cases, Australia accounted for 22, the fifth highest number, after the US, Pakistan, Mexico and India. Some 92% of people died. So how does someone get infected? The route of infection is very unusual and quite specific. N. fowleri infects the brain through a person's nose. The amoeba then passes through a protective membrane called the nasal epithelium. This is an important physical barrier and allows the amoeba to travel to the brain through the olfactory nerve, which is responsible for our sense of smell. The infection then kills brain tissue and causes swelling of the brain, termed cerebral oedema. Infections occur in people when infected water travels up their nose. Most cases involve children and young people who have swum in infected waters. The majority of cases occur in males, with an average age of 14. Even water sports in affected waterways can be dangerous. A person is currently in intensive care in Missouri after it's believed they became infected while water skiing. Regarding the recent detection in Queensland water supply systems, the source of the infection has not been reported. It's possible a fresh waterway, or groundwater, which feeds into the affected drinking water systems, was contaminated with N. fowleri, and the amoeba travelled from there. But this will likely be determined with further investigation. How dangerous is N. fowleri in drinking water? First, it's important to note you can't get primary amoebic meningoencephalitis from drinking contaminated water. But any activity that allows infected water to enter a person's nose is potentially dangerous. This can happen during a bath or a shower. Some people flush their nasal passages to clear congestion related to allergies or a viral infection. This has been linked to infections with N. fowleri. If you're going to flush your nasal passages, you should use a sterile saline solution. Even young children playing with hoses, sprinklers or water activities could be at risk. A 16-month-old child was fatally infected following an incident involving a contaminated water 'splash pad' in the US in 2023. Splash pads are water-based recreation activities, primarily for young children, that involve splashing or spraying water. So what's the risk in Queensland? Regarding N. fowleri, Australian drinking water guidelines advise: If the organism is detected, advice should be sought from the relevant health authority or drinking water regulator. The guidelines also provide recommendations on how to disinfect water supplies and control N. fowleri, using chlorine and other chemical compounds. All public town water supplies across Australia are regularly tested to ensure that the water is safe to drink. We don't yet know the exact cause of the detection of the amoeba N. fowleri in these Queensland towns' water supplies. But drinking or cooking with water contaminated with this amoeba will not cause an infection. Any activity that allows potentially contaminated water to go up the nose should be navigated carefully for now in the affected areas. Contamination of a town's drinking water supply from this amoeba is very rare and is unlikely in other Australian town water supplies. How about swimming? To reduce your risk in potentially infected warm, fresh waters, you should keep your head above water while swimming. And don't jump or dive in. You can use a nose-clip if you want to swim with your head under water. The amoeba cannot survive in salt water, so there's no risk of swimming in the ocean. Also, properly maintained swimming pools should be safe from the organism. New South Wales Health advises that the amoeba cannot survive in water that is clean, cool and adequately chlorinated.

Primary school children hospitalised in Aussie state with deadly flu as case numbers continue to climb
More than 30 children have been hospitalised with the flu in Queensland as health experts urgently call on parents to vaccinate their children. Influenza cases and hospitalisations in the state have increased among children over the last month, with those under five-years-old experiencing the highest rate of flu per capita. Last week, 34 primary school-aged children were hospitalised with the illness, adding to the more than 420 cases of hospitalised patients between five and 17 years old so far in 2025. Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Catherine McDougall said she is seeing 'many' unvaccinated children being taken to hospital. 'Flu in children can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia and bronchiolitis, especially in very young children,' she said. 'Children are more likely to catch and spread influenza contributing to transmission in the community, but young children are also vulnerable to serious illness from the flu. 'Vaccination is very important to protect children from serious illness and complications from the flu.' Dr McDougall said mothers who got vaccinated while pregnant helped protect their children for their first six months of life. About 50,000 Queenslanders have caught the flu this year, according to the latest health data published on August 10. Dr McDougall said nearly 4,900 people were diagnosed with influenza in the last week, a seven per cent increase compared to the previous week's total and the highest weekly total recorded this year to date. Influenza activity was markedly higher last year than this year, but the health chief warned parents not to get 'complacent'. 'Flu cases and hospitalisations spiked this time last year, so cases and hospitalisations have the potential to continue rising in coming weeks,' she said. She said that at least 118 people have died this year from flu related illness including people under 65 years old. 'Many of these deaths could have been prevented through vaccination.' The state has also recorded 28,628 cases of Covid-19 over the year. In June, Queensland MP Tim Nicholls put a two-day pause on elective surgeries when hospitals became overwhelmed with cases of the flu and Covid-19. The state government also recently scrapped a plan to offer free flu vaccinations at the Royal Queensland Show this year. Experts had previously warned of a triple virus surge this winter, with COVID-19, influenza, and RSV spreading across the whole country before May began. Seasonal flu is a common and highly contagious respiratory infection usually caused by influenza A or B viruses, but there are multiple subtypes and strains. Meanwhile, Covid cases were set to surge this winter as a highly contagious Omicron variant was predicted to infect a large proportion of Australians. Variant LP.8.1. was identified as the main culprit behind large outbreaks overseas in late 2024 and early 2025 and was responsible for three in five Covid cases in the UK in March. While the strain does not appear to cause worse symptoms than its predecessors, recent testing found it could be more contagious.
