UNITED STATES, AUG 2 – Justin Timberlake revealed his Lyme disease diagnosis after completing 121 shows, highlighting symptoms like nerve pain and fatigue amid a national spike in tick-bite emergency visits, CDC data shows.
- On July 31, musician Justin Timberlake announced via Instagram that he has Lyme disease, describing it as `relentlessly debilitating`, and noted he is one of the estimated 476,000 diagnosed annually.
- Amid rising temperatures, the CDC reported by July 6 that ER visits for tick bites reached 92 per 100,000, surpassing nearly 10 years of July records.
