Q: There have been two recent cases of TSS (toxix shock syndrome) from use of tampons recently..one in my own city and another about an hour away…the one girl here locally thought she was having flu symptons with fever and throwing up..she went to stand up and her eyes rolled back and she died right there leaving behind a heart broken husband and two small children..the other case also involved a young mother….is anyone else hearing of more cases like this recently?…..please ladies..read the box and become aware of the symptoms….

A: Toxic shock can occur at any time, not just from using tampons, and I have to say it is very rare these days. Them cases are rare and it is likely that they mis-used their tampons, e.g left them in after 8 hours even if advised not to, and stuff like that.It is VERY important to read labels these days, even if you are sure you know what you’re doing, otherwise you could end up being a victim.

Q: For instance, when you leave your tampon in too long, what are symptons of TSS? My friend said she had it because she was sleeping and woke up and couldn’t see anything and her hands were shaking and there was blood on her clothes. Now she has to see an OBGYN doctor. Have any of you had it? Was it scary? How did you figure out what happened?

A: well just don’t leave the tampon in too long, like when i have my period and i use tampons I only leave it in for about 4 to 5 hours. and if you use to big of a tampon for your period, then there will be a greater risk for TSS.
