![Model Lauren Wasser says she will lose second leg to TSS](http://web.archive.org./web/20171220052422/http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/12/19/19/4775E0AF00000578-0-image-a-12_1513712576712.jpg)
Los Angeles-based model Lauren Wasser, 29, lost her right leg and toes on her left foot in 2012 after contracting toxic shock syndrome from a tampon, leading to gangrene in her feet (inset). She revealed she will 'inevitably' lose her other leg in the coming months because bone grows where her toes once were making it unbearable to walk. She now sports a golden prosthetic leg (right) as her modeling career has flourished and is an advocate, raising awareness about the dangers of tampons to women and young girls.
