Toxic shock syndrome (TSS).
No one is quite sure how rare it is, some experts put TSS as occurring in as many as 1 in 700 women - although this includes mild cases that are not fatal and may feel like nothing more than a bad case of the flu, it also includes cases of TSS not associated with tampons such as via childbirth or surgery. TSS is commonly associated with tampon use due an outbreak in the 1970's and 1980's linked to a brand called Rely, tampons can cause TSS as they provide bacteria the perfect place to multiply within the body and they damage vaginal tissues which allow bacteria into the bloodstream.
