Reddit Co-Founder Alexis Ohanian Reveals Lyme Disease Diagnosis
HuffPost
Ohanian, who’s married to tennis legend Serena Williams, said that the diagnosis was "quite a surprise."
Alexis Ohanian, the co-founder of social media site Reddit and husband of tennis legend Serena Williams, revealed on Tuesday that he’s been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Ohanian said that he’d done “a full battery of health scans” when he learned of his diagnosis.
“Wild. No symptoms, thankfully, but gonna treat,” he wrote. “Good cholesterol is too low. Bad cholesterol is just OK. Gotta work on that.”
The tech entrepreneur, who resigned from Reddit’s board in 2020 and then launched the venture capital firm Seven Seven Six, shared in a follow-up post that he has a loved one who was successfully treated for the disease after being diagnosed years ago and exhibiting “tons” of symptoms.
“I spend so little time in the wilderness/northeast this was quite a surprise,” Ohanian continued.
