Woman: Moldy breast implants nearly killed me

SHALIMAR,FL -- Anne Ziegenhorn says she was not surprised when her body began to fall apart after years of unblemished health. The culprit, she says, was on her chest the entire time: her breast implants.

The Shalimar, Florida woman told WEAR-TV it all started in 2011 when she began gaining weight, losing her vision, and experiencing a burning pain.

Sores began to appear on her body and she says her mental state began to deteriorate.

"I felt like that was it, I was gonna die, and the doctors were gonna let me die," Ziegenhorn says.
