TSS lasts as long as three weeks, and has a tendency to recur. About a third of the women who are treated for TSS have it again within six months. In addition, TSS can affect the liver, kidneys, lungs, and other organs

Toxic shock syndrome killed my daughter in June of 2010, and my friends daughter in July 2010. Please take it seriously. The numbers of cases are soaring but the CDC isn't counting them so it's hidden.

What can put a woman at greater risk for toxic shock syndrome (TSS)?

Women under 29 are at the greatest risk of TSS because they don't yet have the antibodies to fight staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The only way to avoid TSS is to not use tampons, or to use only 100% cotton tampons. Use pads at night so the bacterias have a chance to die off before inserting another tampon in the morning. My daughter died of TSS and she was using regular absorbency in a 'name brand' which contained viscose rayon, the primary influence of TSS these days.
