Jack Osbourne Says He Nearly Died After Stepping in Rat Urine
Jack Osbourne recalled the time he nearly died after stepping in rat urine in the jungle and later contracted leptospirosis
According to the Cleveland Clinic, a person can contract leptospirosis after “getting water or soil contaminated by animal pee (urine) in your nose, your mouth, your eyes or a break in your skin.” The disease can cause “flu-like symptoms that can worsen into Weil’s syndrome, a life-threatening illness, in a small number of people.” After six doctors initially couldn’t figure out a diagnosis, Jack explained that the head of tropical diseases for the NHS (National Health Service) was able to properly diagnose his illness. Kelly, 39, also recalled the time she “almost died” after her brother accidentally shot her with a pellet gun while their parents were in New York filming the 1995 movie, The Jerky Boys.
