via The Telegraph:

After losing limbs to toxic shock syndrome, the model is back on the 
runway and using her profile to get people talking about the condition. 
Tall, athletic and bestowed with that particular type of beauty that is 
catnip to the fashion industry, it was only natural that Lauren Wasser 
would follow in the footsteps of her parents both former models, and 
become a model herself. That Wasser´s footsteps are different from most 
people´s has been no impediment to her success.  

In 2012, aged 24, Wasser fell victim to toxic shock syndrome, a 
condition caused by an excess of staphylococcus aureus bacteria in the 
body which can produce a deadly toxin in the bloodstream. After being 
given a one per cent chance of survival by doctors, she was placed into a 
medically induced coma. Ten days later, she woke up to find that 
gangrene had set into her feet. Her right leg was amputated shortly after. 
After enduring several years of excruciating pain, her left leg was  
amputated in 2018.
