Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville has revealed a horrifying health ordeal that left her face temporarily disfigured. The reality TV personality shared shocking details about contracting a parasite infection while on holiday, leading to severe swelling and emergency medical intervention.
A Holiday Nightmare
Glanville, 50, explained that she first noticed alarming symptoms during a trip abroad. "My face started swelling uncontrollably," she said. "At first, I thought it was an allergic reaction, but it kept getting worse." The swelling became so severe that her appearance was dramatically altered, prompting immediate medical attention.
Emergency Treatment
Doctors diagnosed her with a parasitic infection, though the exact type remains undisclosed. "I had to undergo intense treatment to get rid of it," Glanville admitted. "It was painful, scary, and completely unexpected." The infection required antibiotics and anti-parasitic medication before her condition improved.
Celebrity Health Scare
This isn't the first time Glanville has faced health challenges publicly. Known for her candid nature, she didn't shy away from sharing graphic photos of her swollen face to raise awareness. "I want people to take parasites seriously," she said. "This could happen to anyone traveling to certain regions."
Fans have flooded social media with support, praising her bravery in speaking out. Medical experts warn that parasitic infections, while rare in developed countries, can occur through contaminated food, water, or insect bites during travel.
