John Wayne Bobbitt, the Virginia man whose wife Lorena Bobbitt infamously chopped off his penis with a kitchen knife in 1993, has lost all of his toes due to side effects from an illness he claims he sustained while based at Camp Lejeune in the 1980s.
Lorena Bobbitt attacked her then-husband in his sleep and tossed his severed manhood outside a car window as she fled the scene. Doctors were miraculously able to reattach it.
But now, due to a condition called toxic peripheral polyneuropathy, he’s lost all 10 toes and walks with the help of prosthetics, the former construction worker tells Fox News Digital.
“I’d get wounds, they wouldn’t heal and lead to osteomyelitis, a bone infection and amputation,” the 57-year-old Marine Corps veteran said Monday. “They didn’t know what the underlying condition was back in 2013 when I first got wounded.”
Bobbitt was stationed at Camp Lejeune in the 1980s, when the base had a water supply badly contaminated with industrial chemicals.
