Lauren Wasser was a 24-year-old model from California when an ordinary day turned into the worst kind of nightmare. She went to the hospital with what felt like the flu\u2014fever, aches, exhaustion. Within hours she was in septic shock. Doctors discovered the cause wasn\u2019t influenza at all, but menstrual toxic shock syndrome (mTSS), a rare, fast-moving infection triggered by bacterial toxins. The likely culprit: a tampon she\u2019d been using exactly as instructed.<\/p>\n

Lauren slipped into a coma for more than a week. Her organs began to fail. She suffered two heart attacks. When she finally woke, doctors told her they had to amputate her right leg to save her life. She was 24.<\/p>\n
