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.

How can you get toxic shock syndrome?
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a bacterial infection - anything that allows bacteria to multiply within your body or around a wound could potentially lead to TSS. Things such as wounds that aren't cared for or tampon use are common causes. TSS will only occur in those without immunity to TSST-1 toxins.
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.
