Original Note:
Menstrual TSS is an infection caused by the bacteria S. aureus. TSS was more prevalent in the 80s when tampons were over-absorbent. Menstrual TSS caused by tampons is rare today and you can take steps to reduce your risk. https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/health-history/killer-tampons-outer-space-or-why-we-dont-hear-about-toxic-shock-syndrome-anymore https://tampax.com/en-us/period-health/toxic-shock-syndrome-causes-treatment/#
