Israeli TV and radio host Avri Gilad announced on his morning radio show that he has experienced sudden paralysis on one side of his face. He likened his condition to that of TV personality Michal Ansky, who previously suffered from Bell's palsy, a type of facial paralysis. Ansky's condition, which occurred after a flight, initially affected her speech and sense of taste, later developing into a chronic neurological complication that impacted her ability to speak, eat, and smile freely, causing her discomfort in cold temperatures. After extensive treatment, Ansky saw significant improvement but still uses medical Botox to relax facial muscles. Gilad, who hosts the late-night show "Avri and Sharqi" and participated in "The Great Kitchen VIP," expressed hope that he would be spared a similar ordeal, noting that "one in a thousand recover without lasting effects." He is undergoing medical evaluation and treatment, stating, "They told me it will pass. Or not." Gilad described his face as "completely crooked" and recounted waking up to find half of it paralyzed. He is now contemplating how to proceed with his life and career in this state. Gilad suggested his condition might stem from an addiction to chewing gum, which he believes led to inflammation of the "seventh nerve." The article clarifies that this is not a confirmed medical diagnosis, and the cause of such syndromes is often unknown. The paralysis affects daily activities, such as drinking espresso, which now drips onto his clothes. Gilad hopes for improvement within days, otherwise, he may need to adjust to his appearance or face potential professional consequences.
