It came from the toxins that cause the infection. It is most common in women who use tampons and don't change them often enough. The bacteria builds up and causes the toxin to spread into the blood stream.

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.
