Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is associated with tampons. It is a rare illness that can prove to be fatal too. Please visit this site for further information on TSS such as www.toxicshock.com

Symptoms of TSS

Signs to be aware of are: a sudden high fever usually over 39°C, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle aches, a sun burn like rash, sore throat, dizziness and/or fainting or severe flu-like feeling. All symptoms may not occur simultaneously. If symptoms of TSS occur, remove the tampon, consult a doctor urgently and inform him or her that a tampon has been used.

Reduce the chances of getting TSS

• In the case of night time use, insert a fresh tampon before going to sleep and to replace the tampon first thing in the morning. Regardless of when used, day or night, remember to change their tampon every 4 to 8 hours or more often if needed.
• use the lowest absorbency for their flow as it changes throughout their period
• alternate between tampons and towels/pads, liners from time to time during your period
• wash your hands before and after inserting a tampon.
