One of my classmates a year younger than me died at 19 from TSS. She was a friend of a friend, & apparently forgot abt the tampon & 2-3 wks later got very sick, went to the hospital, went septic & passed away.😢

I think it’s honestly a good thing they made us scared about it because it is real and dangerous.

we had three girls in our school get TSS in 2001 and I believe the school actually got in trouble because it was found the teachers weren’t letting the girls leave class to change things

As a PT I’ve treated way too many women who’ve lost limbs from it. I WILL NEVER USE TAMPONS

TSS is very real. Its caused from certain Staph bacterias that release toxins into the bloodstream. The instructions on the box are important: not just changing a tampon timely, but dont touch the clean tampon or contaminate any part of the applicator with your hands bc Staph lives on our skin

I have! I went to a funeral for my ex husbands GPA in Ohio when I was like 23 or 24 and his cousin on his dad's side was 13 and literally just got out of the hospital after being there for 2 weeks with toxic shock syndrome.

I got it as a junior in high school. Treatment was daily antibiotic injections along with other meds to avoid hospital stay. Absolutely terrified to use tampons ever since. I was on depo for 12+ years to not have a cycle.

I get symptoms of TSS if I use one for longer than about 3 hours. It’s horrible and terrifying.

Mike Von Erich (wrestler) suffered toxic shock syndrome (TSS) after shoulder surgery in 1985, which nearly killed him. He had a high fever (107 degrees), major organ failure, and lost 40 pounds.
