Married At First Sight’s Hayley Vernon has had her fair share of health woes in recent weeks.
And the 33-year-old has now suffered yet another blow.
From her bedroom at her Gold Coast home, the OnlyFans porn star told her Instagram followers that was ‘still really sick’ and was dribbling because of ulcers in her mouth.
Heath update: Hayley Vernon has revealed she is now losing her teeth after her infected inking on her buttocks turned septic
In addition to poorly eating due to her swollen mouth, Hayley lost her tooth.
‘I literally soaked a piece of bread in some soup… put it on the right side of my mouth where I can just chew – I went to chew and I felt something hard,’ she explained.
She continued: ‘So when I went over to the sink and spat it out, and I lost my full root canal on a soggy piece of bread – go figure.’

Hayley’s run of bad luck comes ahead of a planned trip to New Zealand in the next couple of weeks.
‘If this tooth starts playing up, while I’ve got my mouth going on, while I’ve got my body infection, while my tattoo has basically god knows growing off it. I don’t know what I’ll do,’ she lamented.
Later in the video, she said: ‘god gives challenges to his strongest people… and here we are.’
Scary: Hayley’s health update comes after she revealed details of her traumatic health battle after an infected tattoo on her buttocks turned septic
Hayley’s health update comes after she revealed details of her traumatic health battle after an infected tattoo on her buttocks turned septic.
Earlier this week, she was rushed to hospital after she felt seriously ill when she discovered her inking had ‘blistered’ and ‘opened up the tattoo wound’.
Following an initial diagnosis of cellulitis, Hayley confirmed on Thursday that she’s now battling sepsis – a potentially life-threatening condition which is caused by the body’s response to infection.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, without timely treatment sepsis can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure and in some cases, death.
In a worrying Instagram post, Hayley said that she can barely speak due to mouth ulcers caused by heavy medication and hasn’t been able to eat solid food for three days.
‘Cellulitis went septic and a quick chain of events followed. Very grateful for everyone who told me to go to hospital immediately,’ Hayley said.

Hayley, who is now recovering at home, confirmed she is taking the opioid Endone for the pain and has had ‘seven drip-line antibiotic bags in hospital’ for the infection.
‘As a side effect, severe ulcerations to my mouth and tongue to the point I’m talking with a lisp and haven’t been able to eat a solid in three days,’ she said.
‘Managed four soups and two bottles of water since I went to emergency – bye bye gains.
‘My glands are the size of cherries and you can see them popping under my jaw, black eyes, dry lips, sweats… this week has been f**king brilliant!’
Horror: Before her hospital dash, Hayley had documented her declining health in a series of worrying updates on Instagram Stories
Earlier this week, Hayley confirmed she had rushed to hospital and had been diagnosed with cellulitis – a bacterial skin infection that can be life-threatening without treatment.
Before her hospital dash, Hayley had documented her declining health in a series of worrying updates on Instagram Stories, noting that her infected tattoo was causing her difficulties to sit down.
‘The second skin made me blister, opening up the tattoo wound. Last night I found myself shivering non stop then getting severe hot flushes.
‘My body is aching and I feel beyond ill.’
Hayley added that she had received ‘copious inboxes saying the same thing’, before concluding: ‘I’ll never use this product again.’
It’s unclear which product Hayley was referring to.
Hayley then shared another video of herself looking distressed as she sat in her hospital bed in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The heavily tattooed reality star had filmed herself getting her latest tattoo – a floral design spread across both buttocks – on the Gold Coast on July 6.
WHAT IS SEPTIS?
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused when the body releases chemicals to fight an infection.
These chemicals damage the body’s own tissues and organs and can lead to shock, organ failure and death.
Organ failure and death are more likely if sepsis is not recognized early and treated immediately.
Sepsis infects an estimated 55,000 Australians each year, killing between 5,000 and 9,000 making it more than four times deadlier than the road toll.
The symptoms can look like gastro or flu and can become deadly, rapidly.
The six major signs of something potentially deadly can be identified by the acronym ‘SEPSIS’:
- Slurred speech or confusion, lethargy, disorientation
- Extreme shivering or muscle pain, fever or low temperature
- Pressing a rash doesn’t make it fade
- Severe breathlessness, rapid breathing
- Inability to pass urine for several hours
- Skin that’s mottled or discoloured
Children may also show convulsions or fits, and a rash that doesn’t fade when you press it – and more than 40 per cent of cases occur in children under five.
Anyone who develops these symptoms should seek medical help urgently — and ask doctors: ‘Could this be sepsis?’
Sepsis is a leading cause of avoidable death killing about 10,000 Australians each year
The early symptoms of sepsis can be easily confused with more mild conditions, making it difficult to diagnose.
A high temperature (fever), chills and shivering, a fast heartbeat and rapid breathing are also indicators.
A patient can rapidly deteriorate if sepsis is missed early on, so quick diagnosis and treatment is vital – yet this rarely happens.
In the early stages, sepsis can be mistaken for a chest infection, flu or upset stomach.
It is most common and dangerous in older adults, pregnant women, children younger than one, people with chronic conditions or those who have weakened immune systems.
