Milan, 31 July (LaPresse) – Justin Timberlake announced on Instagram on Thursday that he has been diagnosed with Lyme disease (borreliosis). The former NSYNC singer shared the news in a post commemorating his two-year “Forget Tomorrow” tour, which ended on Wednesday in Turkey. The post states that the disease “can be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically”. Lyme disease is transmitted by Ixodes ticks, also known as deer ticks. It can cause flu-like symptoms, neurological problems, joint pain and other symptoms. In the vast majority of cases, Lyme disease is successfully treated with antibiotics.
