Yes, men can contract Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
TSS occurs when bacteria are allowed to multiply near an open wound, certain bacteria then produce toxins that enter the bloodstream and if a person lacks immunity it results in something similar to septic shock. Any sort of wound such as scaring post-surgery or a burn could result in TSS, thus men can contract TSS as well as women.
