Lindsay Lohan is a real trouper.
The troubled actress, 28, was diagnosed with the Chikungunya virus during her French Polynesian holiday. According to the World Health Organization, Chikungunya is transmitted through mosquito bites and causes fever and severe joint pain, among other unpleasant symptoms.
There is no cure; treatment primarily focuses on relieving symptoms.
“Before I got Chikungunya use bug spray please, God bless,” she tweeted on Dec. 27.
The following day, she updated everyone on her condition, saying, “Being sick is no fun. But happy new year everyone. Be safe. Love all.”
