Toxic Shock Syndrome

    Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but serious illness which can occur in men, women and children. Approximately 50% of the cases reported are the result of prolonged tampon usage. TSS can be fatal if not treated in time. In the unlikely event that you have these symptoms during your period--a high fever (over 102F or 39C), rash, vomiting, diarrhoea, sore throat, dizziness or fainting - you must remove your tampon and consult your doctor immediately. These symptoms can be early warning signs of TSS, which can develop very quickly and may seem like flu to begin with.
