Many Celebrities Are Getting The Same Disease As Kevin Jonas' Wife Danielle And Here's Why

The NHS has warned of treating a condition that seems to be common among celebrities. You're not going crazy if you've seen several celebrities get sick, all of them with what appears to be the same illness.

An A-list celebrity has also succumbed to a common sickness and revealed the one warning sign she failed to notice. This time, it's Danielle Jonas, the wife of Kevin Jonas, who has spoken up about her battles with the bacterial infection.

It's important to note that she has joined a long list of well-known people including Shania Twain, Alec Baldwin, and Avril Lavigne. Danielle shared the news of her diagnosis in an interview with Parents Magazine.

“They tried to tell me it was anxiety," says Danielle. She also mentioned that her hair coming out was the first symptom she had, which is not a frequent indicator and can be disregarded.

But after a biopsy, it was found that she actually had Lyme disease, a condition that many celebrities have and is contracted by infected ticks.

“I also had eczema on my scalp, which was likely from the inflammation [caused by Lyme disease]. The hair loss was very traumatic. I got to a point where I wanted to wear a wig," Danielle added.

However, why does it appear to be aimed for celebrities? Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, is one of the celebrities to reveal the diagnosis of the bacterial infection, although many others have done so before him.

What could this Lyme disease be?

Humans can contract Lyme disease, a bacterial infection, via infected ticks. The symptoms and health issues that arise from the infection are referred to as the disease itself, and they can differ from person to person.

The primary symptom to watch for is a rash that is round or oval in shape and appears around a tick bite. Early diagnosis usually makes treatment easier.

According to the NHS, this usually happens within 1 to 4 weeks after being bitten by an infected tick, although it can happen up to 3 months later. The rash is typically not hot or uncomfortable, although it may have a bullseye shaped darker or lighter patch in the middle.

A few days or weeks after being bitten, some persons also experience flu-like symptoms, which include:

1. A high temperature, or feeling hot and shivery
2. Headache
3. Muscle and joint pain
4. Tiredness and loss of energy

Therefore, why does it seem that so many celebrities get this illness? According to Paul Hunter, a professor at the University of East Anglia who specializes in infectious diseases, there are a few reasons why more well-known people may contract Lyme disease, as reported by MailOnline.

The riskiest spots are grassy and woodland areas where celebrities may vacation, even though the ticks that might cause it can be found in many other locales.

Here is what the rash should look like

The expert explained: "If there is a rich and famous or class bias in this, it's probably because they spend more time walking around in wooded parkland, more money to go out to those areas, or have big homes with these sorts of places.”

NHS He added: "As you're walking along, the ticks jump on your legs and crawl their way up... have a blood feast and give you Lyme disease. If you go walking in these sorts of places, the best thing to do is check, when you get home, that you don't have any ticks on you, and if you have, remove them safely."
