Brandi Glanville Worries About ‘Sexually Transmitted Ringworm’

You won’t believe what’s on Brandi Glanville’s mind! The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum recently shared a rather startling health concern on her podcast, “Brandi Unfiltered.” She’s worried she might have contracted something she’s calling “sexually transmitted ringworm,” and she thinks it’s in her throat!

A Wrestling Connection?

During a chat with co-host Lisa Ann, Brandi posed the peculiar question: “Have you heard about sexually transmitted ringworm?” Her concern apparently stems from a recent dating experience with someone who, she claims, “did a lot of wrestling.” It sounds like a rather niche concern, right?

Adding to the unusual story, Brandi mentioned that this individual was hesitant about intercourse, fearing she might get pregnant. Brandi found this amusing, noting, “He didn’t know that ship had sailed,” referring to her age and likely past experiences. He apparently opted for other forms of intimacy, focusing on her face.

Ruling Out Other STIs

Before landing on the ringworm theory, Brandi mentioned that she had already undergone testing for more common sexually transmitted infections in her throat, and the results came back negative. It was only recently that she heard about ringworm, and the idea that it could be transmitted sexually and affect internal areas like the throat sparked her worry.

She explained, “You see them when it’s on the outside of your skin but they can burrow.” This thought, combined with her recent dating experiences, led her down this particular health rabbit hole.

A History of Health Battles

This isn’t the first time Brandi has opened up about significant health issues. She’s been candid about a years-long battle with what she suspected was a “facial parasite.” She later connected this issue to ruptured breast implants, believing that silicone had spread to her lymph nodes, contributing to the facial infection.

After having her implants removed and undergoing noninvasive treatments for facial damage, Brandi has been encouraging others with implants to get them checked regularly. It seems her health journey is ongoing, with new concerns popping up along the way.
