Brandi Glanville, known for her role on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has shared concerns that she may have contracted a fungal infection commonly referred to as ringworm in her throat, which she described in unusual terms as a possible “sexually transmitted ringworm.

” She discussed her health worries during an appearance on the “Brandi Glanville Unfiltered” podcast, where she spoke with former adult film star Lisa Ann about potential exposure risks.Glanville suggested that she may have contracted the infection while dating someone who worked in the adult entertainment industry.

Lisa Ann noted that skin infections such as ringworm are relatively common in that field due to close physical contact and emphasized that production environments often take precautions to identify visible symptoms.

Medical experts, however, clarify that ringworm is a highly contagious fungal infection affecting the skin, hair, or nails, and despite its name, it is not caused by a worm.The reality star expressed confusion about her symptoms and said she had undergone inconclusive medical testing.She also speculated that the infection might involve both ringworm and staph bacteria.

Glanville added that she initially believed she had a parasite, referencing earlier health concerns following a trip to Morocco in 2023, where she experienced facial paralysis and was first diagnosed with stress-related angioedema.

In addition to her ongoing medical investigations, Glanville revealed that doctors later identified ruptured breast implants as a potential cause of her health issues.She has spent significant time and money seeking answers to her symptoms, which have included facial disfigurement and persistent discomfort.

Her case highlights the challenges of diagnosing complex or overlapping medical conditions and the uncertainty patients can face when symptoms do not align neatly with initial diagnoses.
