About this video
There’s a lot of misinformation out there about Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), but we’re here to help!
TSS is serious, so it’s important to understand, but there’s no need to panic. TSS is actually caused by bacteria, not tampons. You can get it while
using pads or menstrual cups, or no period protection at all. Even men and children can get TSS, and only about half of TSS infections are related to menstruation - crazy right!?
Most importantly, it is rare AND treatable, especially when caught early. If you do feel any flu-like symptoms when using a tampon, take your tampon out ASAP and let your doctor know you’re worried you might have TSS.
