Model Lauren Wasser, 35, recently talked about her near-death experience with tampon-induced toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
She had both of her legs amputated below the knee as a result of the traumatic experience, and she was determined to spread awareness of the possible dangers of feminine hygiene products.
In an interview with Steven Bartlett for The Diary Of A CEO, Wasser described her terrifying experience. Flu-like symptoms soon turned into a severe heart attack that required life support.
She was forced to amputate both of her legs after Gangrene grabbed hold of them.
Wasser, who is now located in Los Angeles, is working to educate women and young girls about the hidden risks associated with tampons.
She is supporting legislation that requires feminine hygiene products to be transparent.
