Kristen Bell's harrowing ordeal with pinworms is finally over

Andrea Mandell | USA TODAY

Kristen Bell is no stranger to wild encounters.

Recently, the star shared an admittedly harrowing tale of discovering pinworms in her 3-year-old daughter Delta's stool — and then her own.

"I‘m sure there have been times when people have said, ‘TMI, Kristen, keep it to yourself,' " she laughed while chatting with USA TODAY about narrating the new IMAX documentary, Pandas. "When I found out what pinworms were, I was slack-jawed about how I had never heard of them before (and) how easy they are to catch. And it’s hilarious to get this disgusting disease from your child — why is no one talking about it?"

She and husband Dax Shepard, are also parents to daughter Lincoln, 5. After two bouts with the pesky worms, all is now well in the Bell household, the star confirms: "Our family is pinworm-free. Currently."

Following the stunning Season 2 finale of NBC's existential sitcom, The Good Place, Bell, who plays Eleanor Shellstrop, was circumspect about how long her morally challenged character will toil on Earth when the show returns.

"I know the answer," she teased, "but I also know I’m not allowed to say it."
