Lyme Disease in Limelight
Justin Timberlake recently revealed he had been battling Lyme disease for months before receiving a proper diagnosis. The 44-year-old singer, currently on his two-year Forget Tomorrow world tour, initially dismissed the fatigue and body pain as effects of ageing and a demanding schedule. However, his experience turned out to be a case of Lyme disease — a tick-borne illness known to cause symptoms such as nerve pain, chronic fatigue, cognitive difficulties, and long-term complications if left untreated. Interestingly, Justin isn't the only celebrity to have battled this illness. Others, including Justin Bieber, Bella Hadid, Avril Lavigne, and Amy Schumer, have publicly shared their struggles with Lyme disease. But this raises an important question: should people living in tropical regions like India be concerned? What is Lyme disease? 'Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, commonly called deer ticks. It is the most frequently reported tick-borne illness in North America and parts of Europe, but it's relatively uncommon in India,' explains Dr Shraddha Sanghani, consultant, internal medicine at Renova Century Hospitals. Dr Shivaraju, senior consultant – physician & diabetology, KIMS Hospitals, Secunderabad, says, 'In India, Lyme disease is sometimes associated with the Ixodes tick found in the Himalayan region, but this is not definitive.'

Jessica Biel reveals one food chain she won't take her sons to
Jessica Biel won't let her sons eat McDonald's. The Sinner actress - who has Silas, 10, and five-year-old Phineas with husband Justin Timberlake - is not "crazy strict" when it comes to her kids' diets but she won't give into their requests for burgers from the fast food chain because she isn't convinced of the "quality" of their food. She told Parade: 'I'm like, 'Sorry, guys, I'm not doing it.' They don't get McDonald's. "I just feel like I don't know what's going on with [the] quality of that food. It's stuff like that that I'm like, 'No, we're not, Let's go have a great burger and fries at a fancy place. I'd rather pay more for you to have something fancy than something like that.' 'I guess I'm not crazy, rigid and strict, but that would be something that, if they asked me for, I would just be like, 'Next!' Next place. Next down the line.'' Jessica - who is co-founder of wellness company KinderFarms, which offers medicines, electrolyte solutions and supplements without unnecessary fillers or artificial additives - is trying to adopt a cleaner approach to diet and wellbeing. She said: "I just really believe in the products, and I really trust what's in them. 'And for me, I want to help my immune system the best I possibly can. And I don't want to put a bunch of junk in there. "I don't want to put stuff in that I cannot pronounce. That's my new rule: I don't know what this crazy word is. I am not [putting] this word in my body or my kid's body, you know?' Jessica's husband Justin was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease, and it has been revealed that the 43-year-old actress pushed the Mirrors singer to look for answers as he initially thought the exhaustion and pain he had been experiencing were part of getting older and the demands of his two-year Forget Tomorrow world tour. A source told People magazine: "He's not 20 anymore. But when his symptoms worsened, he realised something deeper was going on. "He pushed through for months before finally getting answers. The Lyme disease diagnosis brought clarity to a series of unexplained issues that he's been quietly dealing with." But Jessica Biel "felt like something was off" with Justin's health and "encouraged him to get checked out". The source added: "She could tell that he wasn't himself. She's incredibly supportive."

Actor and singer Justin Timberlake says he's been diagnosed with Lyme disease: 'Don't know what my future is and...'
Exactly how often Lyme disease strikes isn't clear. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites insurance records suggesting 476,000 people are treated for Lyme disease in the U.S. each year read more Justin Timberlake has been diagnosed with Lyme disease, the former NSYNC star said on Instagram Thursday. Timberlake shared the news in a post commemorating his Forget Tomorrow tour, which wrapped in Turkey on Wednesday, adding that the disease 'can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.' The 'SexyBack' singer, who described himself as a private person, wrote he considered ending the tour when diagnosed, but wrote that he 'decided the joy that performing brings me far outweighs the fleeting stress my body was feeling. I'm so glad I kept going.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Lyme disease is transmitted by Ixodes ticks, also known as deer ticks. It can cause flu-like conditions, neurological problems, joint paint and other symptoms. In the vast majority of cases, Lyme disease is successfully treated with antibiotics. 'I honestly don't know what my future is onstage, but I'll always cherish this run! And all of them before! It's been the stuff of legend for me,' Timberlake wrote. Timberlake canceled and postponed multiple shows throughout the tour's run, citing health issues including bronchitis and laryngitis. Six of his U.S. shows were postponed from October and November to February, the singer announced on Instagram. Timberlake ultimately canceled the last show of the U.S. leg of the tour in Ohio due to the flu in February. Representatives for Timberlake did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Timberlake pleaded guilty to driving while impaired in New York's Hamptons in 2024. As part of his plea deal, the singer gave a public safety announcement in September, urging drivers not to get behind the wheel after drinking. The 10-time Grammy winner ended the post thanking his wife, Jessica Biel, and their two sons, Silas and Phin, saying 'nothing is more powerful than your unconditional love. You are my heart and my home. I'm on my way.' About Lyme disease Exactly how often Lyme disease strikes isn't clear. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cites insurance records suggesting 476,000 people are treated for Lyme disease in the U.S. each year. Black-legged ticks, also called deer ticks, carry Lyme-causing bacteria. The infection initially causes fatigue, fever and joint pain. Often – but not always – the first sign is a red, round bull's-eye rash. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Early antibiotic treatment is crucial, but it can be hard for people to tell if they were bitten by ticks, some as small as a pin. Untreated Lyme can cause severe arthritis and damage the heart and nervous system. Some people have lingering symptoms even after treatment.
