What Is Typhoid, the Disease That Made Zac Efron Sick in Papua New Guinea?

Zac Efon recently traveled to Papua New Guinea to film an adventures series called “Killing Zac Efron.” The series’ title may have been something of a prophecy, as the actor reportedly contracted a typhoid-like illness during the project. Typhoid is a potentially deadly bacterial infection. Efron was flown to Australia for several days of urgent treatment before being allowed to return to Los Angeles.
