After getting full-body scans, the Reddit co-founder and father of two, 41, shared the health update on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.
"Doing a full battery of health scans, tests, etc, and found out I have lyme disease," he wrote. "Wild. No symptoms, thankfully, but gonna treat. Good cholesterol is too low. Bad cholesterol is just OK. Gotta work on that. On the plus-side: 822 ng/dL total + 162 ng/dL free testosterone."
He added, "I've got a loved one who had it a few years back, showed tons [of] symptoms etc and just couldn't figure it out until they tested him for it and then found it (treated it successfully, too). I spend so little time in the wilderness/northeast this was quite a surprise."
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi that is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and a skin rash. Untreated Lyme disease can produce a wide range of symptoms, which may include facial paralysis, an irregular heartbeat and arthritis.
"They're good," Ohanian told ET of his daughters . "I'm a very proud papa. Olympia is almost 7 and this is a fun night for her to cheer on mama with me."
