Model unfazed after leg amputated due to TSS

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.
