LOS ANGELES - Comedian and podcast host Joe Rogan has contracted COVID-19, the 54-year-old confirmed on his Instagram on Wednesday.
Rogan said he began "feeling very weary," and described symptoms including a headache and feeling "run down." "Throughout the night I got fevers, sweats, and I knew what was going on," he said on his Instagram video.
He explained that after experiencing his initial symptoms he isolated himself from his family and began treatment with a variety of drugs, including ivermectin, an anti-parasitic drug that the FDA has strongly warned against using to treat COVID-19.RELATED: CDC sees ‘rapid increase’ of severe illnesses from ivermectin use for COVID-19The U.S.
