RHOC Stars' Parasite Claims Raise Health Concerns

Real Housewives stars Brandi Glanville and Vicki Gunvalson both claim to have contracted a severe parasite during the filming of 'Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip' in Morocco in 2023. Gunvalson reported symptoms such as bloating, constipation, and fatigue, attributing the illness to unhygienic conditions like buffet food covered in flies. Glanville has faced significant health challenges, including facial disfigurement and persistent pain, and has reportedly spent over $100,000 seeking treatment, though some medical professionals believe her symptoms may be due to bacterial or fungal infections. Both women continue to seek effective treatment, with Gunvalson using colonics and medications like Ivermectin. Bravo has not commented on the illness allegations from the Morocco trip. The incident has raised concerns about health and safety on international reality TV productions.
