What Exactly Is Lyme Disease? Know About The Disease that Supermodel Bella Hadid Was Diagnosed With
Bella Hadid provided an update on her years-long battle with Lyme illness. She posted photos from the hospital to her Instagram account as part of her ongoing treatment. Bella thanked her followers and family for their support over the years on Instagram, writing, “The little me that suffered would have been so proud of grown me for not giving up on myself,” alongside photographs of herself from hospitals. The 26-year-old supermodel was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, a health issue shared by her family members, notably her mother Yolanda Hadid and brother Anwar Hadid. The bacteria which causes Lyme disease is Borrelia burgdorferi. Infected black-legged ticks bite humans and spread the disease. Lyme disease is the most frequent vector-borne disease in the United States, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Typical symptoms include fever, headache, exhaustion, and a distinctive skin rash known as erythema migrans, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Lyme disease is diagnosed on the basis of symptoms, physical findings such as rash, and the probability of tick-borne infection. When applied correctly and using approved methodologies, laboratory testing for Lyme disease is considered the best. Early Lyme disease diagnosis and antibiotic treatment are critical for preventing late Lyme disease. The choice and length of antibiotic therapy are determined by the stage of the disease and the possibility of consequences. If the infection is not treated, it can spread to the joints, heart, and neurological system. Meanwhile, Hadid updated her Instagram with two photo dumps, thanking everyone for their love and encouragement while she fights the disease. “That young me would be so proud that I did not give up on myself,” she wrote. Yolanda, the model’s mother, was praised for sticking by her side while encouraging her daughter throughout the hardship. Yolanda, for those who are unaware, was also diagnosed with Lyme disease several years ago. Hadid informed her fans that she is OK and would not change a thing for the world. She went on to say that she would go through it all again if she had to because it shaped her into the person she is today.
