Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been treated in a London hospital after contracting Chikungunya, a rare and incurable mosquito-borne virus, while working in Bora Bora over the holidays.
According to TMZ, Lohan went to the French Polynesian island to film a Esurance commercial and ended up contracting Chikungunya. The poor woman just can’t get anything right lately.
She first revealed her diagnosis on Instagram after sharing a photo of herself on a jet ski and captioning the picture, “Before I got chikungunya”. Although Lohan tried to remain in good spirits, she later wrote that being sick is no fun. She added that she wouldn’t let a virus ruin her ‘vacation’.
