This week, model Bella Hadid shared a candid update about her ongoing battle with Lyme disease. The illness, which is caught from a tick bite, is thought to affect over 14% of the global population according to the British Medical Journal.
26-year-old Hadid, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2013, shared on Instagram that she's “not giving up” on her health. Thanking her mum for her ongoing support, she wrote: "Living in this state, worsening with time and work while trying to make myself, my family and the people who support me, proud, had taken a toll on me in ways I can’t really explain."
