Lindsay Lohan has contracted the mosquito-borne Chikungunya virus

Yesterday, Lindsay Lohan tweeted a link to an Instagram picture with the caption "Before I got chikungunya 😥😰😪 use Big spray please 🙏 God bless." Lindsay has been vacationing in French Polynesia these past two weeks, where she could have contracted the virus. According to the CDC, the virus causes fever and joint pain, and can sometimes include muscle aches, headaches, joint swelling or rash. The virus does not often result in death, but the symptoms can be severe and cause disability. There is currently no vaccine or specific treatment for infection.
