Does using organic tampons cause TSS?

Organic tampons do not cause Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). Toxic shock syndrome is a rare but serious bacterial infection that can occur when bacteria enter the body through a break in the skin or through the use of tampons. The bacteria that cause TSS produce toxins that can cause a range of symptoms, including fever, rash, vomiting, and diarrhea. Organic tampons can reduce the risk of TSS by being less likely to cause small cuts or abrasions in the vagina, thus providing a decreased chance for bacteria to enter the body. The risk of TSS when using tampons, whether organic or non-organic, can be further reduced by changing them regularly following the instructions on the product's packaging.
