Toxic Shock Syndrome - you can get it from leaving a tampon in too long .. and it *can* be fatal. It's VERY rare, though. I think they explain it in the tampon box, but I'm not sure.

Toxic Shock Syndrome. You can get it from using tampons. I did a little research online for it and here are some things that can happen :


What Happens

TSS symptoms can rapidly affect several different organ systems, including the lungs, kidneys, and liver. The sunburnlike rash that may occur early in the illness is often followed 7 to 14 days later by scaling, peeling skin, especially on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.

Serious life-threatening complications of TSS include:

Shock.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Kidney failure.


Recurrent episodes of menstrual TSS may cause ongoing symptoms, such as memory loss, rashes, bluish fingers and toes, or an increase in allergies.

Children are less likely than adults to develop the more serious complications of TSS.

If you want to know more about TSS do an online search by typing in "Toxic Shock Syndrome Information" You should find plenty of results.

Hope it helps =) *Amber*

Toxic Shock Symdrome. Its when you leave a tampon in for too long. There is a very slim chance of you getting TSS because if follow the instuctions right then you should be fine. If you want a real detailed answer about how you can get TSS and how to prevent it I would use www.ask.com or Google

TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) is a disease that you get when you put in a tampon wrong or from the improper use of a tampon. On a tampon box, it should explain everything about TSS. Hope I helped :)
