Understand Toxic Shock Syndrome! 

If you know it, you'll understand the causes, with the intention of avoiding it, in order to know how to suspect it!

Know it!
An illness caused by bacteria.

Causes!
Strain of staph.

Avoid it! 
If wearing tampons, alternate. Keep any open wounds clean. Avoid exposure of any open areas.

Suspect it?
Seek medical assistance immediately.

The main reason of TSS is due to the lack of a new tampon, or the insertion of one for too long to the point that it produces bacteria that is life threatening. If you are a female, simple change it up and pass this message along to mothers, daughters, and friends!

Remember that this is not the only cause of TSS, any open wounds are susceptible to it as well. Keep the area clean and unexposed!
