'Bachelor' Alum Melissa Rycroft Falls Ill Following Trip to Dominican Republic

The Bachelor alum Melissa Rycroft is the latest person to fall ill following a trip to the Dominican Republic.

The 36-year-old television personality was joined by her husband Tye and three children while vacationing at the Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts earlier this month in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

After returning home, Melissa took to her Instagram to explain that she wasn’t feeling well and was experiencing “severe cramping.” She went to the doctor where she was put on a liquid diet and given medication.

“She got an upset stomach on the second day of vacation, but it passed. Once they came home, she got severe cramping,. It has lasted for over a week, and she’s currently getting tested for possible parasites and any other infections. She’s assuming it’s something foodborne, but no one else in her family is ill,” her rep told Page Six.

Over the past month, several tourists have died under mysterious circumstances while visiting the Dominican Republic and now many people are coming forward saying that they experienced illness following their trip.

The CDC and the FBI are currently investigating some of the deaths.

We hope Melissa recovers from her illness quickly!
