| Tampon Alert Week It is Tampon Alert Week from 2nd - 8th June, bringing awareness of toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). This is a rare but fatal disease caused by a particular type of bacteria that can produce toxins in the body. The symptoms of TSS come on fast and are often severe. Results of a study published in 'the journal of Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynaecology' suggest that the use of 100% cotton tampons may reduce the risk of TSS compared with tampons that contain rayon. The conclusion of this study was that all-cotton tampons do not produce the dangerous TSS toxin from the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, while other tampons did.
