Brandi Glanville has been rushed to a hospital after her hand swelled up due to a mysterious infection.

The former 'Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills' star shared the scary news on Instagram, posting a photo of herself in a hospital bed where she says doctors are going to have "more tests to run" to determine the problem. In the picture, you can clearly see her hand is very swollen with red marks running up the arm.

At this point, doctors believe it could be a reaction to an animal bite of some kind -- like a spider!

"Hey guys yes I was admitted to the hospital yesterday and I have amazing first responders taking care of me! We are not exactly sure what we are dealing with we believe it may be an infected spider bite. More tests to run," she captioned the photo!

The reality star first posted a picture of the swollen left hand Tuesday on social media with the caption, "I think I got bit by something in the night :/ I have so much to do today, I'm not sure I can go to the doctor. Obviously, even though she was considering not taking a trip to the doctor, she ended up in the hospital after the situation got much worse.

At the time, fans flooded her IG account begging the reality star to get to a doctor's office, with one writing, "Please go to the doctor asap! I had a spider bite and the doc said it could have killed me if I didn’t get on Antibiotics right away. Go. Now. Please!” Brandi shared a separate tweet where she addressed the seriousness of the situation, claiming she wanted to leave the emergency room early, but "they said I could lose a limb so I'm chilling - ON A TUESDAY!!!!." Well, it seems like a smart decision!

This isn't the first time Brandi has shared a serious health scare in the past few months. In March, Glanville revealed she was recovering from second-degree burns on her face that she got from "an accident with a psoriasis light."

This has been a rough week for the 'RHOBH' crew after co-star Kyle Richards was forced to call 911 after she was attacked by a swarm of bees! In the frantic 911 audio, Kyle scrambles to find her EpiPen and has trouble removing the needle from the outside packaging. Richards revealed she is highly allergic to the insects, and posted a similar photo of herself from inside a hospital -- warning fans to always have the life-saving device nearby -- and know how to use it!

In the past few hours, Brandi has not updated fans on the current condition of her hand -- but hopefully, she is recovering, after receiving treatment in the emergency room.

Get Well Soon!
