no, thats not a stupid question! well when you leave in a tampon too long you can get TSS (toxic shock syndrome). this is rare but you CAN die from it if you get it. so really, you can die from leaving a tampon in too long since you can develop TSS by leaving one in too long. hope this helped! ♥ megan

If you leave a tampon in for too long, you can get a rare but serious disease called Toxic Shock Syndrome, and although it is not always fatal, you can die from TSS.

It can cause TSS, which is rare. But, if you do leave it in for long and you do get TSS, yes you can die.

Not directly from leaving the tampon in too long. It's more of a chain reaction.

Leaving the tampon in too long can lead up to Toxic Shock Syndrom (TSS) and one of the negative side effects of TSS is death.

Here are a few links for you to take a look at.

well leaving a tampon in for too long, like over 8 hours can cause TSS and that can lead to death. but TSS is usually rare

Toxic Shock syndrome can possibly lead to death.
It is rare and is usually the result of someone
putting a tampon in and then forgetting its there. Sounds silly but when I worked in an ER I saw it myself.

Anything left in the vagina for a week or so will
have the same result (you don't want to know).

Normal use (overnight is OK), just don't forget its there. :)
