Brandi Glanville suspects rare throat ringworm from past fling

Brandi Glanville has revealed she may be suffering from a ringworm infection in her throat. The former reality TV star suspects she contracted the fungal condition from someone she dated in the adult entertainment industry. Doctors have already ruled out other common sexually transmitted diseases as the cause of her symptoms. Glanville first became aware of the possible infection after her girlfriend suggested it could be ringworm. The condition, which can spread through skin-to-skin or sexual contact, is known to affect the skin, hair, or nails. In severe cases, it can burrow deep into the ears if present in the throat.

The man Glanville dated reportedly only engaged in oral sex to avoid pregnancy. This detail has led her to investigate the source of her symptoms further. Meanwhile, makeup artists working with Glanville were previously trained to check new talent for signs of ringworm patches—a precaution common in the industry. Ringworm infections can be stubborn and difficult to treat, particularly when they affect sensitive areas. Glanville continues to research the cause while seeking medical advice.

The case highlights how ringworm can spread through close physical contact, including sexual activity. Glanville’s experience also shows the importance of identifying unusual symptoms early. Treatment may require specialised care, especially if the infection has progressed to the throat or ears.
