カナダのロック歌手、アヴリル・ラヴィーンさん（30）が、主にダニを媒介して感染するライム病のため5カ月間寝たきりで「死ぬって思った」状態だったと、アメリカの雑誌「ピープル」のインタビューで告白した。

ラヴィーンさんは、長期にわたって公の場に姿を見せていなかったため、ファンから心配する声があがっていた。日刊スポーツなどが4月2日、これを報じた。

アブリルはゴシップ誌「ピープル」に昨年１０月にラスベガスで３０歳の誕生日を友人たちと祝っていた時のことについて、「私はほとんど食べられなくて、プールに行った時に、その場から離れて、ベッドに横にならなくてはいけなかったの」「私の友達は『どうしたの？』って聞いたけれど、私は分からなかったわ」と語った。そして、その後重度のライム病と診断されたという。ライム病とはダニに刺されることで感染する感染症で、初期症状はかぜと似ているそうだ。

アブリルは診断される数か月前からずっと体調不良だったそうで、昨年春頃に刺されたと考えている。

ラヴィーンさんは現在、「80％」回復したという

「ライム病」について、コトバンクは次のように説明している。

ボレリア・ブルグドルフェリイというスピロヘータが起す感染症で，アメリカのコネチカット州ライムで最初に流行したため，この名がついた。野山に生息するマダニ類が媒介する。感染したマダニに咬まれると，数日後に咬まれたところに環状の紅班ができ，次第に大きくなる。
