Bieber was discovered by talent scouts as a young teenager after posting videos of himself singing on YouTube. He soon rose to superstardom and has won a number of MTV awards, Billboard Music Awards, and a Grammy too.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s statement. Roughly 300,000 Americans are diagnosed with Lyme disease each year. Untreated, the infection can spread to the joints, heart and nervous system. Symptoms can include fever, chills, headache, fatigue, joint aches and a “bulls-eye” rash that occurs in 70 to 80 percent of infections.

CDC revealed that most people who are treated with antibiotics early fully recover, though the infection can become severe or prolonged in some cases.
