TSS is Rare! and Not limited to tampon use- Males can get TSS too
( Why not just Check the tampon at lunch break? it takes 5 minutes or less- that is how female cope in the Working World- )
Toxic shock syndrome can happen to anyone — men, women, and children. Although it can be serious, it's a very rare illness. If you're concerned about toxic shock syndrome, the smartest thing you can do is to read and learn about it, then take some precautions.
What Is Toxic Shock Syndrome?
If you're a girl who's had her period, you may have heard frightening stories about toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a serious illness originally linked to the use of tampons. That's because the earliest cases of the illness, back in the late 1970s, were related to super-absorbent tampons. Research led to better tampons and better habits for using them — such as changing tampons more often. The number of TSS cases dropped dramatically. Today about half of all TSS cases are linked to menstruation.
But TSS isn't strictly related to tampons. The contraceptive sponge and the diaphragm, two types of birth control methods, have been linked to TSS. It also can happen if bacteria enter skin that's broken from a cut or other wound, surgery, or a scald or burn; after giving birth; during a chickenpox infection; and from prolonged use of nasal packing for nosebleeds — although all of these are rare.
TSS is a systemic illness, which means that it affects the whole body. It's caused by two types of bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (often called staph) and Streptococcus pyogenes (often called strep), with most cases related to staph bacteria. These bacteria can produce toxins. In some people whose bodies can't fight these toxins, the immune system reacts. This reaction causes the symptoms associated with TSS.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms?
Symptoms of TSS occur suddenly. Because it's an illness that is caused by a toxin, many of the body's organ systems are affected.
The signs and symptoms of TSS include:
•high fever (greater than 102°F [38.8°C])
•rapid drop in blood pressure (with lightheadedness or fainting)
•sunburn-like rash that can be anywhere on the body, including the palms of the hands and soles of the feet
•vomiting or diarrhea
•severe muscle aches or weakness
•bright red coloring of the eyes, mouth, throat, and vagina
•headache, confusion, disorientation, or seizures
•kidney and other organ failure
The average time before symptoms appear for TSS is 2 to 3 days after an infection with Staphylococcus or Streptococcus, although this can vary depending on the infection.
