Gangrene

Three years ago, in northern Samsun province's Çar?amba district, five-year-old Zehra broke her arm while playing with her friends. Her mother took her to a private hospital and her arm was put into a cast.

What started out as an “urban legend” in the ’80s or earlier, namely, toxic shock syndrome through the use (or overuse) of tampons, is now a well-chronicled ailment.

One shapely model, in fact, is missing her right leg, allegedly to TSS.

Lauren Wasser almost lost her life in 2012 in a severe illness she blames on a tampon, with a lawsuit now pending.
