Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but potentially serious medical condition caused by certain strains of bacteria, often associated with the use of tampons, particularly those left in for an extended period. The bacteria produce toxins that can lead to symptoms like sudden high fever, low blood pressure, vomiting, and a rash resembling sunburn. To avoid TSS, it is crucial to practice good menstrual hygiene. Choose the lowest absorbency tampon suitable for your flow, change tampons regularly (at least every 4-8 hours), consider using towels overnight, and wash your hands thoroughly before and after handling menstrual products.
