What is Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)?TSS is a rare but serious illness that may cause death. It is caused by a toxin (a kind of biological poison) which is produced by a type of bacteria (staphylococcus aureaus). These bacteria are found in the nose of about one-third of the population. They may also be found on the skin and occasionally in the vagina without causing harm.Who is at risk?TSS can occur in both males and females of any age, but is more common in young women who use tampons during their periods.How does it occur?If the toxin is produced in the vagina or a wound and absorbed from there into the bloodstream, a person who is not resistant to the toxin may become ill. Most people develop resistance to the toxin (that is why the illness is so rare) and in these people there is no harmful effect. The symptoms of TSS may develop rapidly. Early recognition and treatment of these symptoms can usually prevent serious illness.What are the symptoms of TSS?The early symptoms may begin suddenly and are similar to the 'flu' feeling very ill, headache, muscular pains, high fever and chills, usually 39 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit), vomiting, diarrhea or both, fainting, dizziness, weakness or confusion and/or sunburn-like rash.What must I do if I think I have TSS?If, during your period or shortly after, you have any of the above symptoms, REMOVE YOUR TAMPON AND SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. Remember it is very important to tell the doctor that you have been using tampons. If you have ever had TSS, you should not use tampons until you have discussed the matter with a doctor. You may not have developed resistance to the toxin and could get TSS again.Do tampons cause TSS?The simple answer is no. Tampons do not carry the bacteria which causes TSS. However, tampon use has been associated with an increased risk of TSS. Although TSS can occur with the use of tampons of any absorbency, the risk increases with the use of tampons of a higher absorbency.TOM 100% certified organic tampons are produced under a quality system and comply with the strict requirements of AS/NZS 2869:2008
