This Model Lost Her Leg From Using Tampons. Yes, This Can Happen.

This is quite accurate, When you get the time today, go to the supermarket and find your way to the Diaper section that's where you can find all them Pad, Tampons etc. Pick a Tampon up and read the terms and conditions, They take there time to explain and warn people of the side effects, so you actually buying it after reading all that is at your own risk. I remember that year when i just started getting into foreign high school movies, I will hear them say things like , 'I want to make a quick stop at the store to get "Tampons". "And i was like, Nne i gats to belong oh, make i go buy my own nau"(Like it was cool.) Long story short i bought a pack and i read all the terms and conditions at the store but i still went ahead and paid for it and took it home, then my elder sister read it again and started her research at the end of the day the side effects was beyond me. So till the end of time this home girl is KEEPING AWAY from the "Tampons" ...But sadly the model in this article your about to read learnt the hard way...

By the time she was 24-years-old, Lauren Wasser had, what most would term "it all." As the child of two models, she was 5'11" with blonde hair, blue eyes, and she even had a full basketball scholarship for college. However, she also had a budding modelling career which she chose over the scholarship and everything from there seemed to be smooth sailing. Lauren, at the time, was living in her own Santa Monica apartment and was integral to the shiny LA social scene.

 Lauren told VICE in an interview "everything was based on looks...I was that girl, and I didn't even think about it." 

Everything seemed to be ideal for her and would have remained that way if it weren't for a fateful day when she was feeling quite unexpectedly off. It felt like a type of flu but what it actually was, she would've never been prepared for.

Contributing to her discomfort, Lauren had her period and needed to head to the drugstore where she picked of her go-to tampon brand, Kotex Natural Balance, which she had always used. 

Later on she attended a friend's party with hopes of regaining her spirits. Instead, her ailments worsened and, becoming very uneasy, she decided to head home.

When she got to her place, she did what anyone feeling unwell would have, went straight to bed. It wouldn't be until a day later that she awoke because her mother (who lived in another town) had become so worried that she sent police in for a welfare check with a friend too. 

Lauren was immediately rushed to the hospital with a 107 degree fever. When she arrived, doctors said she was 10 minutes away from death. 

Lauren had suffered a massive heart attack, unbelievably. The doctor immediately asked if she had a tampon in and she did at the time. When it was sent to the lab, she tested positive for toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a disease forms through a combination of bacterial infections and is not restricted to female affliction. 

Lauren was in critical condition and with her life at risk to the point that doctors were telling her mother to pray and prepare her casket. She was then put into a medically induced coma and when news leaked onto Facebook, friends and acquaintances lined up all around the hospital to pay their respects. 

It wasn't until about this point that doctors decided the best bet for recovery was to amputate her leg.
