What is this so called "Shock" From tampons?!

as the above answerer has said, Toxic Shock Syndrome is caused by bacteria which can give you an infection!. Basically, tampons provide the perfect moist environment for bacteria to grow and thrive, and this can cause serious illness if left to "stew" there for too long!. Always wash your hands before inserting and removing a tampon, and do not use a higher absorbency tampon than what you need!. Change your tampon often too, so there is less chance for bacteria to grow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
