During the episode, Kailyn reminisced over her lavish trip, which she took with her children's nanny, Natalie.

However, the getaway didn't go as smoothly as she hoped as she recalled a concerning situation she got herself into.

The former Teen Mom 2 star was reluctant to discuss the incident, though her assistant, Kristen Hook, encouraged her to share.

"What did we touch that we weren't supposed to?" Kristen asked, pushing the podcast host for details.

"I went on an excursion, and on this excursion, there were kittens and monkeys…" Kailyn hesitantly prefaced.

"And I fell in love with the kittens, and I said, 'are they hungry,' and they were like, 'yes,' and I was like, 'I better feed them.'"

The MTV alum then explained her immediate regret as she ended up getting bit by one seemingly friendly feline.

"I did not make a good choice, I did not make a smart choice, and I do not recommend touching, feeding, [or] doing anything outside of looking at the animals in another country because I was feeding the cat, and it was so f***ing hungry, and I did not pull my hand away fast enough, and it did bite my finger," she revealed.

SCARY INCIDENT

Kristen pressed her friend to tell the rest of the story, which involved Kailyn seeking medical attention due to the bite.

"My full anxiety set in," the 31-year-old confessed after learning that the kittens were not tested for various diseases.

"Now I have to go do all of the rabies protocol, and I will be in the hospital because they need to evaluate my bite and decide what the treatment will be for said unknown rabies status.

"They also asked me if I've ever had a tetanus vaccine. So that was an adventure," Kailyn admitted.

Luckily, the young mom did not contract any illness from the bite.

On Friday, Kailyn hinted at the mishap on her Instagram Stories by sharing a selfie donning a medical mask.

She sported a long-sleeved red top and leaned her head against her hand.

The TV personality captioned the post: "don't pet the stray animals," but gave no more context to her message.

FANS' REACTIONS

Those who hadn't tuned into her podcast wondered what happened to the mom of four as the photo circulated on an online thread.

"Is she sick? I haven’t seen anyone post about this yet. Via Snapchat," the original poster wrote.

"Maybe something happened on her trip to Thailand that caused her some sort of viral illness," someone else theorized.

"Eek I hope she didn't get bitten by a strange animal," another commented.

"Probably her infected Thailand tattoo," a third guessed.

"My guess if she was bit by an animal and had to go start her rabies shots, so she’s mandated to wear masks in a medical facility, even though she’s can’t wear it correctly," a fourth suggested.

However, some of her podcast listeners swooped in to clear the air.

"In her podcast she said that she was bit by a stray kitten in Thailand while feeding it. She’s back home now though," one said.

"She got bitten by a stray kitten in Thailand and had to get checked out by the doctor," another wrote.

Kailyn jetted off to Thailand last month for a luxurious getaway without her four sons.

The TV star shares Isaac, 13, with her ex-Jo Rivera; Lincoln, eight, with her ex-husband, Javi Marroquin; and Lux, five; and Creed, two, with her ex-Chris Lopez.

She is also rumored to have welcomed a fifth child in November with her boyfriend, Elijah Scott, 24, though she has not addressed the chatter.

LAVISH VACATION

Kailyn documented her entire trip on social media, and fans were divided over her going on a trip while leaving her little ones behind.

One fan argued on a popular Teen Mom forum: "It's a great travel memory!"

Another critic claimed: "Kailyn complained a ton about how difficult it is to take care of four kiddos alone. And now she brings the nanny on a trip, but not her kids?"

Someone else added: "Kailyn just needed an adult friend to go on vacation with."

A fourth questioned: "Kailyn doesn’t care she left Creed behind?

And a fifth chimed in: "Isn't her youngest a secret baby a little young to be leaving behind for a big international trip?"

Kailyn kept herself busy without her kids as she shared pics of her kayaking, swimming, visiting an elephant sanctuary, and even getting a new tattoo.
