Yes you can die from TSS. I had TSS and ended up in the ICU for six days. It is a long recovery and you are extremely exhausted afterwards. I was sick for about five days before someone diagnosed me and then I went to the ICU. Another side effect is your whole body peels after. It is strange. Its very scary and has life long effects afterwards. If you feel as though you have TSS go to a hospital right away. Usually a sunburn like rash appears and that's really a sign of TSS.

∙ 10y agoThe serious phase of TSS lasts between 4-5 days, and it can kill within just 7 days - there is no cure for TSS, so survival depends on a persons health, how long it takes to seek treatment, how it effects their body, and level of care.

Are the symptoms of TSS continuous or can someone get them occasionally?
TSS symptoms can occur monthly with your menstrual cycle when you have a mild case, they will present like flu and may pass but long-term can lower your immunity and result in a serious life-threatening case - a doctor can run tests for TSST-1 antibodies to see if this is TSS. In a serious case of TSS within a few days you'd suffer organ failure and you would die within a week, with a serious case it's not something you get occasionally...without urgent medical care you die.

What can put a woman at risk for toxic shock syndrome?
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.
What will not put a women at risk for TSS?
Tampons account for around 75% of all TSS cases so avoiding tampon use is a major way to avoid contracting TSS - instead of tampons women can use sanitary pads, menstrual cups, or softcups. Even switching from commercial tampons such as Tampax to organic cotton tampons such as Natracare can significantly reduce TSS risk. TSS can also be contracted as a result of injury or surgery, correct medical care and keeping bandages clean can significantly reduce the risk of TSS in these cases.
