What is Lyme illness? And how does it affect Bella Hadid?
According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, Lyme disease is a vector-borne disease that is widespread in the United States. It is often caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and is spread by the bite of infected black-legged ticks. Symptoms of the illness include fever, headache, exhaustion, and an erythema migrans skin rash. It can cause the infection to spread to the human's joints, heart, and neurological system.

The importance of early identification and adequate antibiotic treatment in treating the condition cannot be overstated. However, some patients have experienced chronic exhaustion, soreness, and difficulties thinking even after Lyme therapy, and all of these symptoms can remain for up to six months. Post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome occurs when the bacteria causes an auto-immune reaction, causing symptoms to persist long after the illness has cleared.
