Jan. 28 2015, Updated 2:00 p.m. ET
From her “Speed The Plow” run to remaining sober, Lindsay Lohan has come so far from her days of rehab stints and arrests. But it looks like the actress now has another challenge to overcome: an incurable virus.
The Mean Girls alum has reportedly been hospitalized in London for chikungunya, a rare mosquito-borne virus.
Lindsay attracted the virus while vacationing in French Polynesia over the holidays. She turned to Instagram in December to break the news to fans. “Before I got chikungunya use bug spray please. God Bless,” she captioned a snap of herself.
In addition to fever, the sometimes-fatal virus also causes joint pain that could last months.
