Brandi Glanville revealed that she might have contracted ringworm through oral sex.
âI have a quick question. Have you heard about sexually transmitted ringworm?â Glanville asked guest Lisa Ann on Thursdayâs episode of her âBrandi Unfilteredâ podcast. âI feel like I have it ⊠in my throat.â
Ringworm is a fungal infection that affects the hair, skin or nails, per the CDC. It can spread through skin-to-skin or sexual contact. These infections can be âsevere and difficult to treat.â
âItâs one of these things that most people donât know what to look for,â Ann â who is an author and retired American pornographic actress â alleged.
âWe had to train our makeup artists that when a new member of talent would show up, they would have to get naked in a window where thereâs good light and they would inspect their body to see if they see any patches because itâs incredibly contagious.â
Glanville thinks she contracted ringworm from dating âsomebody in that industry.â
âHe would only, you know, my face because he didnât want to get me pregnant,â she shared about the mystery man. âHe didnât know that ship had sailed. Iâm like, âOK, whatever, Iâm not going to correct you.ââ
âAnd in my mouth in all that, [then] my girlfriend told me about it yesterday,â Glanville continued. âI knew nothing about it.â
The reality star explained that after doctors ruled out other common sexually transmitted diseases, she started researching what else it could be.
âThey can apparently ⊠burrow in, like, if itâs in your throat,â Glanville detailed. âIf itâs in your throat, they can burrow deep into your ears and all that.â
However, the Bravo alum is no stranger to health issues, after having dealt with various mysterious illnesses in recent times.
In February, Glanville found out the culprit behind her years-long facial paralysis.
She explained that her breast implants caused the disfiguration, which led to her losing several teeth.
While on a podcast, Glanville revealed that doctors saw that the implant in her right breast had ruptured and leaked during a sonogram. That led to the silicone to migrate into her lymph nodes.
She ended up spending $200,000 to find out the cause of her ailment.
Just last month, Glanville was rushed to urgent care after getting a garlic clove stuck in her ear.
The TV personality caught a cold and opted to use a garlic clove to help relive congestion.
âOn Easter, I didnât do anything because of the garlic in my ear,â she said on her podcast about the viral TikTok trend.
âI was trying to get it out,â Glanville insisted.
As she put it, âIt really went down further and I had to go to urgent care the next day and get it taken out.â
