John Wayne Bobbitt, whose penis was cut off by his wife in a high-profile case in the 1990s, underwent the last amputation of his remaining toes last year, The Sun reported Saturday, along with photos of his feet.

He attributed the amputations to toxic peripheral polyneuropathy, a condition he was diagnosed with due to drinking contaminated water at North Carolina’s Camp Lejeune military base, where he spent time as a Marine in the 1980s.

The condition damages the nerves, resulting in numbness and weakness. He said it caused him nerve damage and osteomyelitis, a bone infection that leads to ulcers and requires skin grafts.
