Menstrual toxic shock syndrome is a serious, potentially fatal infectious disease linked to wearing an internal protective product (hygienic or menstrual) for too long during menstruation.
Possible symptoms include: sudden fever over 39°C, vomiting, diarrhea, sunburn-like rash, sore throat, dizziness, and/or fainting. Note that these may not all occur at the same time.
It is recommended to consult a doctor immediately if symptoms of menstrual toxic shock syndrome appear, to remove the tampon and if possible to keep it for analysis, to inform the doctor of your current menstruation and of the possibility of having menstrual toxic shock syndrome linked to the use of an intimate protection product at
internal use.
Anyone who has ever developed menstrual toxic shock syndrome should not use internal protection products.
