If you suspect TSS you must seek immediate medical attention, TSS can take hold quickly and can kill within a week, medical attention is urgent. Symptoms of TSS can vary greatly but in all cases you would see a fever and low blood pressure.
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.

How long do you have to wait till you get tss from wearing a tanpon to long?
It's a myth that TSS only occurs from leaving tampons too long - TSS is a risk whenever you use tampons, it's just that the longer you leave tampons the higher the risk of TSS as the longer you allow bacteria and toxins to build-up.TSS occurs when certain bacteria multiply and start to produce TSST-1 toxins, these toxins enter your bloodstream and if you lack immunity they overwhelm your immune system to cause TSS - there is no specific length of time when this will occur, but in most cases TSS will occur within the first few hours of use, as soon as those toxins are produced and hit the victims bloodstream.Tampons need to have been in long enough to have allowed bacterial growth, so a few minutes wouldn't be a risk, but certainly bacteria and toxins don't wait until the 8 hour mark to have an effect. Just be sure to change tampons every 4-6 hours and consider safer options like softcups and menstrual cups.

What are the symptoms if you forget a tampon?
If you've left a tampon in longer than the recommended 4-6 hours then it increases risks of TSS and vaginal infections - the longer they're left the higher the risks. If susceptible to TSS on this occasion you'd likely see TSS symptoms earlier rather than later because although TSS risks are higher the longer you leave tampons, the bacterial toxins responsible for TSS take immediate effect. Symptoms of TSS can vary greatly including vomiting, bowel problems, muscle pains, rash on hands or feet, red mucosa, but all TSS cases involve fever and low blood pressure. Vaginal infection is most common, you'd notice bad odour such as a fishy smell and excessive discharge, maybe also irritation. If you do notice these symptoms then you check to see if there is a tampon still left in your vagina, and then see your doctor for antibiotics to clear the infection.
What is the illness from having a tampon in to long?
You might be thinking of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).It is a myth that TSS comes as a result of leaving tampons too long - although leaving tampons too long is one factor that increases the risks of TSS, most cases of TSS occur within the first 2-3 hours of tampon use. TSS is always a risk with tampon use.What is tampon-associated Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)?TSS occurs when naturally occuring bacteria multiply and start producing TSST-1 toxins, these toxins enter the bloodstream via tissue damage, if a person lacks TSST-1 antibodies TSST-2 toxins will overwhelm the immune system - TSS can be fatal is left untreated, or leave victims with serious long-term health conditions or disabilities.Tampons account for 75% of all TSS cases as they provide bacteria with the perfect environment in which to multiply, while also preventing the vagina from cleaning itself and effecting vaginal pH so the vagina cannot fight-off harmful bacteria. Tampons also damage vaginal tissues so give TSST-1 toxins moredirect route into the bloodstream. Leaving tampons too long allows bacteria longer to multiply, thus higher risk.
