Veeda 100% Natural Cotton Tampons Regular 16 pack

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but very serious (possibly fatal) illness that can occur in men,
women and children. It is caused by a toxin (a kind of biological poison) that is produced by a type of
bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) that is frequently present in humans. Almost half of all cases occur
amongst menstruating women and girls, especially teenagers and women under 30 years of age.
TSS can occur without tampons but has been connected with the use of tampons. TSS can be fatal
and must therefore be recognized and treated early. The symptoms of TSS can appear suddenly
during or just after menstruation and they closely resemble the flu. The symptoms below will not all
necessarily occur at the same time:
- High fever (>102°F) and chills
- Fainting, dizziness, weakness
- Vomiting, diarrhea, or both
- Headache, muscular pain, sore throat
- Sunburn-like rash
If these symptoms appear you must:
1) Remove your tampon;
2) Seek medical attention immediately;
3) Tell your doctor that you are menstruating and that you have been informed about TSS.
TSS can recur both with and without the use of tampons. If you have suffered from TSS, or are
concerned about TSS, please consult your doctor before resuming tampon use. Or consider using
sanitary napkins.
