In March 2020, "Real Housewives of New York City" star Ramona Singer shared that she too was diagnosed with the illness after noticing a tick bite while out in her summer home in the Hamptons.  

"It's just a really scary disease and it's not black-and-white," Ramona told Entertainment Tonight back in 2018 after her sister had contracted the disease too. Detecting it early, Ramona was able to make a full recovery as she participated in a 30-day course of antibiotics. "Life is about having your health – health is everything," Ramona expressed, via ET. 

Yolanda Hadid, of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," has also battled the disease along with her children Bella, 24, and Anwar, 21. In 2017, she published her very own book called "Believe Me: My Battle with the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease" to document her experience with the disease. She provides readers with a deeper understanding of the illness and ways to cope with it. 

"This disease has brought me and many others to our knees, often wishing to die of utter hopelessness and exhaustion," she said at the Global Lyme Alliance Gala in 2016, per People. "Like I always say, you don't get it until you get it."
