Toxic Shock Syndrome

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but life-threatening condition caused by bacteria getting into the body and releasing harmful toxins.

Toxic Shock Syndrome

It's often associated with tampon use in young women, but it can affect anyone of any age - including men and children.

TSS gets worse very quickly and can be fatal if not treated promptly. But if it's diagnosed and treated early, most people make a full recovery.
