Brandi Glanville has encountered another dead end in her battle against an aggressive facial parasite.
The *Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* alum shared a startling video to her TikTok on Sunday in which the lower half of her face appeared badly burned. "I know I look attractive," she joked.**
"Good news! You don't have to spend a lot of money on peels and lasers anymore," she explained, tongue in cheek. "I decided to put Nair on my face, because when I have an exfoliated face, it pisses Caroline off, or whoever's living in my face right here, and right there, and then she moved up here when I did the Nair," she said, pointing to different areas of her face and referring to the name she has given to the parasite.

Glanville has been chronicling her battle against the facial parasite since December, but believes she contracted the bug back in July 2023 while filming a season of Bravo's *Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip* in Morocco. One of her costars on that trip, *Real Housewives of New Jersey *alum Caroline Manzo, accused Glanville of unwanted sexual contact and later sued Bravo, prompting the network to shelve the season and Glanville to threaten a lawsuit of her own against it.
"So, Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out, but I overdid it. Seven minutes - don't do it," she continued, referring to the hair removal product which takes as its name a portmanteau for "No Hair."
In the caption of her post, Glanville continued to elaborate on her failed offensive against the parasite: "Beauty hacks (this is a good one but do a test patch) did 7 minutes and im on fire [so] don't do 7 minutes it also burned the loose skin off my arms & its 7 dollars 😎 Mix up some aloe vera, cucumber and black tea put it in the freezer put it in the spray bottle and once it's cold enough spray all day cause I'm in some pain."****

In February, Glanville shared a worrying update on her parasite journey - a video of the reality star violently shaking while hooked up to an "emphatic drainage machine," likely meaning "lymphatic drainage machine," a device purported to reduce swelling, aid in blood circulation, and help with weight loss.
Glanville shouted out Terry Dubrow, the celebrity plastic surgeon and husband of *Real Housewives of Orange County *star Heather Dubrow, who Glanville enlisted to help diagnose and cure her facial woes, and vowed to "shake for the rest of my life if this thing gets out of my body."********
