The NHS has issued a warning for a disease that seems to be affecting celebrities, particularly in the US. Lyme Disease, a bacterial infection, has been diagnosed in approximately 476,000 people in the US each year. Celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Bella Hadid, and Ben Stiller have all shared their diagnosis with the public. The NHS has warned about the symptoms of Lyme Disease, which include a circular rash around a tick bite, flu-like symptoms, high temperature, headache, muscle and joint pain, tiredness, and loss of energy. The organization advises that ticks carrying the bacteria may be found all over the UK, especially in grassy and wooded areas. Experts suggest that celebrities may be more prone to contracting the disease due to their lifestyle choices, such as spending more time in wooded parklands or having larger properties with wooded areas. The NHS stresses the importance of checking for ticks and removing them safely if found. Early diagnosis of Lyme Disease is crucial for effective treatment. It is essential for individuals to seek medical attention if they suspect they have been bitten by a tick.
