Jack Osbourne recalls having a viral disease

Jack said that he got leptospirosis which is a viral infectious disease. He had gone to shoot in a place called Bario in Malaysia and he got really sick after they got out of the jungle since the shoot was about a jungle track. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Leptospirosis can spread to humans through breaks in the skin and mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, nose) from being around urine from an infected rodent. 

Furthermore, after Jack left Malaysia, he went on a trip to Finland and started to show symptoms of an illness. He said, ‘I got really sick up there… I literally was dying. This wasn’t, like, a fake thing.’ Then Kelly got into the conversation and said her mom, Sharon was freaked out and started screaming her head off because she was shit worried about Jack’s health. Jack continued by saying that five days into this illness his body started to shut down, he was lying on the bed and hadn’t eaten anything. He also highlighted that nobody was able to diagnose what had happened to him and then a guy from NHS said that he had understood that Weil's disease.
