A model lost her leg to toxic shock syndrome — here are 5 things she wants women to know
American model Lauren Wasser first developed toxic shock syndrome in 2012, when she was 24 years old. That year, she had to have her right leg amputated. And on Wednesday, Wasser told the Washington Post, she expects she’ll “inevitably” need to have her other leg amputated as well.
She has made it her mission to educate women about TSS and warn them about the risks associated with tampons.
