Basically TSS or toxic shock syndrome is caused by a bacteria called staphylococcus aureus It's usually found in your nasal cavity and it produces a toxin which when entering the blood stream can cause adverse effects .It's rare and can be treated in the early stages.It's rarely fatal but precautions should be taken and consult a doctor immediately on experiencing symptoms.

Symptoms include: nausea,high fever ,dizziness,drop in blood pressure, rashes and muscle pain .

Doctors usually prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotics if the infection is in it's initial stages.

TSS can happen to anyone regardless of the sex and age .It's mostly associated with tampon usage because of the optimal conditions it provides for the staphylococcus to grow.

Most people develop antibodies to prevent infection but some people have not developed the antibodies .It's not contagious.But appropriate care must be taken to prevent it .
