In a surprising turn of events, Alexis Ohanian, the tech entrepreneur and husband of tennis legend Serena Williams, has revealed that he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease. The Reddit co-founder shared the news on social media, expressing shock at the diagnosis.
Ohanian stated that he underwent a series of health scans and tests as part of a routine checkup. While the results indicated some other health concerns, such as low cholesterol, the Lyme disease diagnosis came as a complete surprise. Notably, he mentioned having no symptoms of the disease prior to the diagnosis.
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. Symptoms can include fever, fatigue, headache, and a characteristic skin rash. However, many people with Lyme disease do not develop the rash.
Ohanian has assured his followers that he is already undergoing treatment for the disease and is optimistic about a full recovery. The news has sparked concern among fans and well-wishers, with many offering their support and sending positive messages.
As the husband of one of the world’s most celebrated athletes, Ohanian has been a constant presence in the public eye. This health update has brought renewed attention to the importance of regular checkups and early detection of diseases.
