What is the probability of toxic shock syndrome?
Data on Toxic Shock Syndrome warps probability. As TSS is associated with tampons, which make a lot of money for big companies who sell the most dangerous types of tampons, manufacturers misrepresent TSS statistics - CDC statistics are often quoted but these are grossly inaccurate for a number of reasons. It's estimated that 1 in 700 women will contract TSS at some point in their lives.
What is toxic shock syndrome?
Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by a bacterial toxin. Different bacterial toxins may cause toxic shock syndrome, depending on the situation. The causative agent is Staphylococcus aureus.This infection can occur via the skin (e.g. cuts, surgery, burns), vagina (via tampon), or pharynx. However, most of the large number of individuals who are exposed to or colonized with toxin-producing strains of S. aureus or S. pyogenes do not develop toxic shock syndrome. One reason is that a large fraction of the population has protective antibodies against the toxins that cause TSS.[1] It is not clear why the antibodies are present in people who have never had the disease.11. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_shock_syndrome
