Q: alright, I heard somewhere, that if you sleep in a tampon, then you can get an infection or a disease or something.

1. myth or fact?
2. If a fact, what is the infection?
3. what is the infection caused by?
4. how serious is the infection?

alright, thank you all so much!
Well, for one thing, It's not if you sleep with one in. You're just not supposed to have one in for more than 8 hours. There is an infection you can get, but it is very rare. it's called toxic shock syndrome, tss for short. I'm not exactly sure what it's caused by, but if not treated right away, it can end in death. Just read any instruction paper thingie that comes in any tampon box and it tells you all the warnings and symptoms and about it and stuff. Hope I helped.
