The website FlightRadar24.com shows Delta Flight DL194 was about two hours into its eight-hour flight when it turned around over Virginia and headed back to Atlanta.
A user on X, formerly known as Twitter, who appears to devote his page to flight material shared audio recorded from the Airbus A350 that was broadcast on LiveATC.com.
On the recording, a pilot tells air traffic control, "This is a biohazard issue."
"We’ve had a passenger who’s had diarrhea all the way through the airplane, so they want us to come back to Atlanta," the pilot added.
A Delta spokesperson confirmed with Fox News Digital there was no emergency landing because of the biohazard situation, but the flight did return to its original airport.
"Delta flight 194 from Atlanta to Barcelona returned to Atlanta following an onboard medical issue," the spokesperson said. "Our teams worked as quickly and safely as possible to thoroughly clean the airplane and get our customers to their final destination. We sincerely apologize to our customers for the delay and inconvenience to their travel plans."
There were 336 passengers onboard the flight that landed without further incident the following day, 8 hours and 6 minutes behind schedule.

We had already paid for the flight and the cruise, ~$10,000, and didn't want to miss out. I was able to go longer between episodes, but still tenuous. 2 days before leaving I walked into the bedroom heading for the bathroom. My wife had left her suitcase on the floor in the process of packing. I hadn't turned on the lights, did not see the suitcase, tripped over it, fell and pooped my pants - though I was trying to clench it shut. I hurried to the toilet, turned and sprayed the toilet and wall behind it before getting sat down. Cleaned it up afterwards. Next day, cleaned it up again.
Luckily (or maybe not really) my wife, being on numerous cancer drugs, had some opiate containing anti-diarrhea drugs, that put the brakes on my situation. One of those pills gave me about 12 hours of safety.
The day of the flight I made my first purchase of adult diapers, put one on backwards (because the problem is in the back, not the front), took a pill and got on the plane. I made the 2 flights safely without putting the diaper to the test. When we got to Heathrow and before we got our ground transportation, I made a visit to the restrooms. As I entered the stall, I heard the guy in the next stall talking on his telephone. I proceeded with a gurgrly blast, uncorking a lot of brown water at a high rate of speed. His conversation ended abruptly.
I was still under the weather for a couple of days, but then recovered and enjoyed the cruise. Saw some northern lights.
Anyway, I sympathize with the person in the story. It can happen to anyone, and it doesn't always let you know ahead of time.
Obligatory thanks for creating a super spreader event Typhoid Zebedee.

A United Airlines flight from Houston to Boston diverted to Northern Virginia on Sunday after "after a customer experienced a medical issue," according to United.
The airline did not disclose the nature of the illness on flight 2477, but a radio traffic recording shared by flight tracking company RadarBox suggests there may have been some sort of biohazard on board.
"It's quite bad back there. It's still really bad. The crew is vomiting and passengers all around are asking for masks, etc." says a voice on the recording, presumably from the flight crew. RadarBox credited the recording to @Thenewarea51, which in turn credited the audio to Bill B. on X, formerly Twitter. "Especially this kind of being a biohazard, I think we need to probably get this plane on the ground ASAP."
There were 155 passengers and six crew members on board, and none required medical assistance upon arrival at Washington Dulles International Airport, according to United.
United said the Boeing 737-800 got a "deep clean" and departed with passengers and crew at 5:17 p.m. ET.
