Not clickbait. There’s a model who got tss (toxic shock syndrome) from using tampons. Both her legs were amputated because of severe pain and she now has golden prosthetics. She refers to them as her “trophies” and according to her, they allow her to live a more active life. The 31-year-old model is currently training for the NYC marathon and is a spokesperson for sufferers of tss. She uses her Instagram account to teach the public about the dangers of tampon use.
Her name is Lauren Wasser and this is her:

About toxic shock syndrome (wikipedia):
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a condition caused by bacterial toxins.[1] Symptoms may include fever, rash, skin peeling, and low blood pressure.[1] There may also be symptoms related to the specific underlying infection such as mastitis, osteomyelitis, necrotising fasciitis, or pneumonia.[1]
TSS is typically caused by bacteria of the Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus type, though others may also be involved.[1][3] Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome is sometimes referred to as toxic-shock-like syndrome (TSLS).[1] The underlying mechanism involves the production of superantigens during an invasive streptococcus infection or a localized staphylococcus infection.[1] Risk factors for the staphylococcal type include the use of very absorbent tampons, skin lesions in young children characterized by fever, low blood pressure, rash, vomiting and/or diarrhea, and multiorgan failure.[1][5][6] Diagnosis is typically based on symptoms.[1]
