- If you've heard of Toxic Shock Syndrome, you might think you can only get it from tampons, but the bacteria that cause this problem are surprisingly common and we still don't know why they sometimes turn deadly.

I had TSS in 1986 when I was 16. I thought I was dying. Like the video said, it came on out of nowhere to me having a temp of 105, throwing up and my entire body hurt. I would scream if you barely touched me... I was the first diagnosed case in my city/county and it took a couple of days to even diagnose. At first it was even misdiagnosed with my parents being told I had the flu then mono b4 finally being told I had TSS. I was unconscious for over 24 hours after being admitted to the hospital & was there for 10 days. I never wore another tampon again even though I changed every 3-4 hrs and never slept with one. Thanks for the video because it is really not discussed as much as it should be since it can kill you if left untreated.
I'm happy you made it through. It progresses so quickly, with such destructive symptoms, I'm often amazed people survive.
Holly Molly! And that was during the 80s! Thank goodness you lived to tell your tale. Peace ✌️
In which country did this happen? How did you recover? I'm not trying to ask personal information i just want to know how survied an infection like that.
I had a very similar experience in 2006 (also 16)! I ended up in the emergency room I felt so sick and none of the doctors could figure out what was wrong with me. Later on after I had recovered they tested my antibodies and found I had none. I had never misused tampons either but because I had no antibodies all I needed was to be exposed to get deathly ill... it’s definitely not an experience I ever want to relive...

... DAYS?
Imagine the smell
Next time you see a warning label that seems painfully obvious, remember this.
Brandyalla why did you make me imagine that 🤢
Nobody wants to imagine it. Ick
Is that possible to keep a tampon in for days? Yeah, just not really likely. Seriously, I knew a couple of young women with TSS, and wearing tampons for days was not the cause.
tbh the fact that a guy is sharing these facts and ain’t uncomfortable is 👌👌👌
I was going to cry discrimination if it was a woman 😂😂😂😂
Cool guys get periods
Just what I'm thinking too!
Suvi-Tuuli Allan where?
Omg I’ll alert the male feminists. 🙄
A male speaking for SciShow and talking about menstruation? Hell yes. Thank you, SciShow! For showing not every man has to get uncomfortable or disgusted when talking about it.
I really can't imagine the presenters of a science channel having any trouble with this in 2018.

Yeah, because until now, that’s what I thought! This is news to me
Well, there's my anxiety trigger for the day.
felt haha
I highly regret watching this at midnight 😶
@@hoihoi6475 same
😂😂😂bout to take out the tampon he said esp if you’ve had strep throat was about 😹😹I almost had a panic attack ahhh
The thought of getting TSS is why I have never tried tampons and why I likely never will. A little convenience is not worth dying horribly if I insert it wrong, get a scratch in my vagina, leave it too long, or just get really unlucky. I first read about it in The Care and Keeping of You at the age of 8 and it freaked me right out. They didn’t even go into detail but I knew what words like “bacteria”, “infection”, “toxic” and “die” meant thank you very much.
wouldn’t you have to get a scratch AND leave it in too long? i thought the only way it could enter the body is through a cut
This would always scare me when I wore tampons.
You don't anymore ?
same
Are you really wearing a tampon if it is inside you. Technically the tampon is wearing you.
I laughed way too hard at this ^
Yes it made me laugh out loud too, I imagined a tampon with hands, legs and eyes, (and a tail) wearing a human as a hat
I actually had TSS back in 2006 and at the time none of the doctors treating me could even figure out what it was there were so few cases. It took a misdiagnosis of scarlet fever to get me the antibiotics to even start to improve. It flared up again a month later and it was only my mother that noticed both times I came down with it in the middle of my period. The ER doctor told her she was wrong and I didn’t have all the symptoms. Good thing I didn’t since the last symptom I didn’t have was death... later on I was tested for antibodies and they discovered I had none for it. I’m a rare unicorn by medical standards...
If you didn't have antibodies for it ... Maybe you didn't have TSS
It was confirmed with a blood test which is how I was able to be properly treated for it. Its like in the video how some people have antibodies that are weirdly good at fighting superantigens, but mine are just really crap at it. It’s a statistical anomaly for sure but it’s true all the same.
@@rattatatter thank you ill look up more about it
I WAS BORN IN 2006!!!
Exactly the same for me.
The title sounds like a rather strange horror movie.
It does...
It's a documentary about the so-named rock band
yah mate this made my day, i laughed like fuckin waluigi, thank you
(not beig sarcastic, it was rather funny ^^)
Killer ramps would be an awesome horror movie monster.
When you talked about the small scratches I cringed so hard 😳😳
Micro-scratches, like on glass.
I'm assuming that the lambskin condoms makes even bigger scratches.
and don't get me started on the porcupineskin condoms... those leave huge ones...
I know.. I don't have the same parts (obviously) but ouch.. yeah lets not talk about it.
Satisfactory Bagelfreund And imagine the rust potential! Well, the only way to prevent the rust to make sure it's the pre soaped Brillo brand. Any scratches really need to be washed right away & it might as well be in the process. Bring it on & foam it up, baby.
I know it's not the point of the video but thank you for having a male scientist giving this female-oriented information and not thinking it's uncomfortable or inappropriate, this is the progress we are looking for :)
It's not exclusive to females
Eh, I rarely use tampons anyways. I mainly just use pads.
Pads actually have a warning for TSS too...
crap...
Conventional beauty and sanitary products are always loaded with nasty chemicals. You're honestly better off using 100% cotton washable pads or just a menstrual cup. A menstrual cup can last you 5 years and is 20 to 40 dollars so I recommend investing in one (:
I just take the risk. Literally eveything in life has a chance of making you ill or killing you.
@@mimsydreams It's not really about dying. It's about being the healthiest you can be for a long period of time. Why not go for health if it's an easy choice to make?
Watching this while having a tampon in... hm.
Ico same
I am, too. I hope this this isn't a sign
I just took mine out and wondered what would happen if it got stuck and then I found this... I’m never wearing mine again !
The cup is the future
Ikr..... time to go take it out
In seventh grade I thought I had TSS because I got really sick the first time I used tampons. It was probably just a regular virus from swimming in some really gross tide pools, but I thought I was gonna die.
Okay, I was a young woman in the 80s. My coworker's sister was suddenly hospitalized with high fever, etc. She was in a coma briefly, but recovered fully. Later that year, TSS was first described by doctors. Neither she nor anyone I knew regularly left tampons in for days or weeks. You might forget your last one of the cycle for a few hours longer, but it's not likely that legions of women were leaving them in for days at a time. It was last century, but we did understand hygiene.
Stefan did an awesome job of being the perfect educator: straight, informative data without acting as if it were in some way 'cringy' for a man to use words like 'tampon.'
Thanks for the comforting part near the end. I needed that deep breath because even though I don't where tampons, my health anxiety was rising rapidly.
Preventing TSS as a man seems difficult. How am I supposed to use a tampon correctly?
for mopping up spilt beer?
@@mikenewtonninja9379 Tried shoving one up my nose when I had a nosebleed, very effective, that must be it.
Vodka soaked is the only sure prevention
Don't put it in your mouth or rectum.
Aage Vdvet haha
I've seen a few comments about this, and I want to mention my experience. TSS can happen in women without tampon use. (Tampons increase risk)
I had TSS from a skin infection several years ago in 8th grade. There was a big staph outbreak in my area and a lot of schools were actually closing and keeping kids home! I had severe eczema all over, so essentially an open wound that didn't really occur to me or anyone as a problem. It was just part of life. I went to school since it was the last day before Xmas break. Felt fine. But when I got home I was miserable.
I'd had skin infections before. Many caused that clear (sometimes yellow) lymph fluid to come off my skin. And that happened quickly. I wasn't too concerned since my skin did that all the time. But then I got a fever. My eczema/rash/infection got worse. And when my mom realized I was severely dehydrated she called EMTs.
I did NOT get TSS from a tampon. Like the video says, it can be from a cut. My situation was the perfect weird and a freak thing!!
Absolutely be careful~ but don't frighten yourself. They kept me in the hospital, there was a special protocol for not spreading the bacteria outside my room, and I survived!! :)
Well, you getting TSS isn’t strictly a “freak incident”. Under normal circumstances, getting TSS is utterly rare - let alone from a skin/surface wound - but you did mention that there was a staph outbreak, so obviously being exposed to an outright outbreak of TSS-causing bacteria is going to raise chances - it’s not exactly normal circumstance. Though it leading specifically to toxic shock is still rare, I guess, since getting exposed to staph through a skin lesion could just as easily lead to cellulitis, or maybe less severe skin infections.
Hey, I got TSS from a staph infection when I was 8! Also not tampon related!
I wonder if it’s rare because not everyone’s bodies respond to the bacteria?
@@Unearthlysoap yeah I think it takes a rare combo of a bunch of different factors to happen.
I’ve always wondered what else can cause it besides tampons, that’s the only thing you ever really see with toxic shock syndrome warnings
I may have lost a friend to this. Her death is officially unexplained, but it's a leading possibility. Her organs just started failing one day. By the time they realised what was happening it was too late. She was 19.
I learn something from every one of your videos. I'm always glad to see my notifications for your videos pop up. You guys do a great job.
Kati OBrien yep couldnt agree more
Oh definetly yes 😀
Guess I’m starting my monthly “watches period videos while on period.” Seriously. This is getting ridiculous. Literally every month, at the perfect time, one of the channels I’m subscribed to posts a video related to menstruation. Creepy.
@Heather Lee I'm not even gonna lie, one time, at band camp (that's how all the fun stories start 😂), my friend was talking about something, then a couple of minutes later, we got an ad for it. Then, to test if they were listening, we asked for an ad about JoJo (not siwa, but the Bizarre adventures one), and we got an ad a couple of minutes later. Then we all freaked out 😂

Not a bad thing tho, dude

Thank you for doing this! I always wanted to know more about this!
Thank you SciShow for the info (and thank you Cells at work for helping me understand things in this video I wouldn't understand before.)
This was great!!! Truly informative.thank you
Had a junior high friend die from this, from tampon. Due to being undiagnosed until after death. They thought she had the flu, then maybe mono, then she was gone...they had to do an autopsy to find the TSS. It was around 1986-1987.
I've had this when I was 15 due to an boil infection. And after months of not doing anything I decided to finally get some help. I took medicine that had Sulfate, and Bactrum which only made it worst. Finally one day after taking a cold shower I came out red and swollen. I was so dehydrated that when i went to the local ER, they couldn't even find my veins in my arms , they had to put the needle (with meds) near my groin area. When I was finally transported to the texas children's hospital I had (i think, this was a long time ago) a heart rate of near 160 and a blood pressure of 180/90ish. It is truly a horrible disease as it will poison you from the inside. I was in the ER with needles in my veins for a week.
In case you're wondering the boil was formed from a cut I got at a water park.
bro i have same condition like u .need help what to do
@@usamasaeed5904 yes you need to go to hospital. Because if left untreated it can be fatal. I'm not trying to scare you, but bacteria will spread poison to your body. That's if you have it. The good news is that it's treatable if you go to the hospital.
@The Glorious Lion I just now notice his reply thanks to you. Toxic shock syndrome left unchecked can be fatal.
This was perfectly presented, thank youuuuu

This was great!!! Truly informative .
I had it. With both Staph and Strep at the same time infecting a lymph knot in my armpit. I survived it, but it took me two years to recover, since every time I stopped the antibiotics, I'd get another illness from that. Thanks for this video, it's so hard to get reliable info!

I'm never using tampons.. staying with my pads
Who knew this channel had so many subscribers?? I’ve never heard of it. I just happened to look this topic up. Wow!!
I thought watching this would calm my constant anxiety about having an infection. Oh how wrong I was. Still a good vid though.
learning this in school. thnx for a cool video!
Stefan Chin is the man!
Hey, a random question completely unrelated to the topic: Why can I take a 30-minute nap and feel awake for hours, even as far as making me awake when I should be asleep, but when I sleep for the recommended 8 hours, I wanna just go back to sleep for all eternity?
Author-and male-Clive Barker suffered from toxic shock while pulling a rotten tooth. He went into a coma in the dentists chair and had something like 6 heart attacks and strokes in the chair.
This is why I’m just gonna stick with pads...
my sister died last february because of complications of streptococcus type A during a flu.. now my country is making people aware of the risks that bacteria can have to healthy people. And now I see this video and other videos, it is great that this information is spread because it causes more people harm than you whould think :(
Hi, long time watcher, first time commenter- thank you for this episode.
This should be shown in every health class.
I've always been super scared of this. And now I'm even more scared, hearing the effects of it below. xD Thanks for sharing, though!
Whoa I had no idea that’s why your supposed to change them so often, I thought it was a trick so you’d buy more of the product. And these products ain’t cheap. I switched to the cup about a year ago. I been using it almost completely for 2-3 months or longer now. It’s a money saver really. I’m up for anything that saves me around $10 or $20 a month.
Can you guys do a video the top three bacteria that lives on your skin that could possibly make you sick and the chances of them making you sick?
Thanks.
I was hospitalized for over 2 months, stayed home another month and returned to school for half days because of strep throat. The doctor said there were signs that the infection may be effecting my organs. They pumped me with antibiotics and asprin. I was very weak for a long time and they removed my tonsils after I recovered enough for the operation.
I have no idea why I’m watching this. I’m literally giving myself a panic attack
The prevailing hypothesis for years for strep cases was localized Magnesium absorption via bandages, gauze, tampons, etc. What happened to that school of thought?
Being in a country where women mostly use pads instead of tampons, my first reaction to the title was 'what does TSS have to do with tampons?!' 🤔
For days oh my!
Let me pause while I change my tampon. Thanks for the reminder scishow
Do a video on autonomic dysreflexia AD
I'm genuinely shocked this video had an ad on it
I literally got a tampon ad before this.
nearly lost my arm to TSS. from a 2mm paper cut on one of my knuckle's lol
toxic shock syndrome is why im afraid of using tampons even though im 19 ;;
Cells at Work really helped me understand this better
I thought I was gonna die if I left my pad in during my sleep without waking up to change it, back then they left them in for days oh god😭
I take I.V.I.G., you guys need to do an episode on C.V.I.D., my disease is rare an it is rarer that I am auto immune problems from it, it is more odd that my mother has it making my particular case rare. I feel like awareness needs to be brought to this. It is an interesting topic and knowing that someone else knows about it would make me and people like me feel less alone.
Hey I know it's not really related to this video, but can SciShow do an episode on the achievements the 2018 Nobel laureates had done? You can even skip the peace prize! I just wanna know what they do.... Explained by you guys!
Huh, I just assumed that toxic shock syndrome was a catch all term for excessive toxic material in the blood stream. It's very counterintuitive to give a broad sounding name to a very specific form of sepsis/septicaemia.
I have a fever Rn, idk if it’s cuz I’m ill but it started as soon as I started using tampons which was a few days ago as pads were just annoying me. So I’m so confused. And apparently a sign of tss is a fever
I had this. I feel special.
They should talk more about this in school.
Will these kind of infection be avoided if one use cups?
Wash your hands after going outside, eating, and going to the bathroom. Bathing daily and not wearing soiled clothing also help lower your chance of infection.
I clicked on the notification so fast it said the video was private
I do everything to lower my risk but I still have a severe fear of this illness. I had so skip to the end of the video.
I don't know why but some reason i realy find toxic shock syndrome antigens very cool especialy streptococcus ones .
Big fan
Cells at work helped me understand this
Yes!
you turned this into a horror story
So let me get this straight. If I use the right absorbency level on my tampons, as well as take them out after a reasonable time (don't leave them in for too long), there is a low risk of me getting TSS?
My mom wont let me use tampons because of this risk, and I hate pads, so I'm really upset about it. I know that she's just doing it because she's worried about my health, but the chances of me getting TSS are so low! I'm not downplaying it, but it's highly unlikely, that if I'm responsible with my use of tampons, that I will get TSS.
Leaving tampons in for days!? I know in the early days of tampons people probably didn't know not to leave them in, but even leaving one in for just 8 hours causes a pretty awful stench. I can't even imagine how awful it must be after days.
some women wear tampons every day, so that migth be the cause
hoe dan ook maandverband is beter dan tampons gebruiken voor menstruatie
The strep and staph bacterium and T Cells I remember from Cells At Work.
Can this develop many months after surgery if something was inserted in you? I have a sun burn looking rash and pain. No other symptoms are present.
Also menstrual cups are usually made of medical-grade silicone, and if you use them correctly there's almost no chance of TSS!
You all should make a video as to why it's so hard to keep your eyes open when you sneeze!
And now it's 2020 have doctors and scientists answered those unknown questions said in the video yet
Yeah that’s why I wear pads, sitting in your own blood is a little uncomfortable but tbh I’d rather sit in my blood than be dead so yeah xx
I had TSS (probably strep based on the descriptions here) in 2010. I almost died at least twice. Ventilator, tube feedings... Tubes in places i don't wanna think about.
I wonder if strep carriers are immune to the strep version of this.
Can wearing contact lenses for days on end cause toxic shock syndrome too ? Or can not replacing disposable contact lenses regularly cause toxic shock syndrome?
gotta change my cup evey so oftenn
Heard of this from a lady on shark tank, it's crazy she was able to survive this.
And I stumble on this video on the first real period I have had in over a year LMAO
Does wearing the diva cup pose a risk of TSS too?
I had a tampon shred somehow inside me about a month ago.. it split in half and all of the fibers came out inside me.. since I have had a terrible infection that hasn't gone away.. iv taken several rounds of antibiotics.. and nothing seems to fix it. Lately I've been feeling dizzy, low blood pressure, just totally off and iv taken myself to the med express type places twice and the doctors just tell me it sounds like a yeast infection and charge me $300 instead of listening to me. I don't have insurance... and I'm becoming scared and obviously frustrated... 🙈
I had only put my tampon in for less than 30 mins & I was nearly fainting on the floor. I felt a rush of heat through my body. I instantly became diaphoretic. My whole body was becoming immobile and It felt like I was being smothered with a pillow. I couldn’t breathe. Thankfully I managed to have enough strength to reach & pull the tampon out . As soon as it was out it was like I could breath again and the pillows was lifted from my face. I immediately could breath and the faint feeling resolved. It was a very scary experience.
maybe you put the tampon in wrong. doesn’t sound like toxic shock. it doesn’t just “go away” like you describes and doesn’t come from putting in a tampon for a few minutes either.
I just got it so I looked this up so I know
Sepsis1 is a progressive disease process caused by an aggressive, dysfunctional immune response to an infection in the bloodstream. It starts with symptoms of infection that can progress to septic shock.
Unless treated - and the earlier the better - sepsis can result in extremely low blood pressure that is unresponsive to fluid replacement, weakening of the heart, and multiple-organ failure.
Sepsis is a common hospital-acquired infection,2,3 but common illnesses such as bronchitis, pneumonia, strep throat or kidney infection can also turn septic, as can localized infections caused by bacteria, fungi or viruses.
The condition becomes particularly problematic and deadly if the infection involves methicillin-resistant or vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA or VRSA) bacteria.
Each year, an estimated 1 million Americans get sepsis4 and up to half of them die.5,6,7 Treatment can be a challenge, and is becoming even more so as drug-resistant infections become more prevalent.
According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, sepsis is the most expensive condition being treated in U.S. hospitals, costing more than $20 billion in 20118 and $24 billion in 2014.9
The good news is a critical care physician just may have found a way to save tens of thousands of lives and billions of dollars each year using two readily available vitamins and a steroid.
Vitamin C and Thiamin - An Inexpensive Cure for Sepsis
Vitamin C is well-known for its ability to prevent and treat infectious diseases. Previous research has shown it effectively lowers pro-inflammatory cytokines and C-reactive protein.10,11,12 Influenza,13 encephalitis and measles14 have all been successfully treated with high-dose vitamin C.
Studies have even shown vitamin C is selectively cytotoxic to cancer cells by generating hydrogen peroxide when administered intravenously (IV) in high doses. It also has a number of heart and cardiovascular benefits.
The anti-infective power of vitamin C has now been demonstrated yet again by Dr. Paul Marik, a critical care doctor at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in East Virginia.
Last January, when faced with yet another deathly ill patient, Marik decided to try a combination of intravenous (IV) vitamin C with hydrocortisone as a last-ditch effort to save the woman’s life.15
He’d recently read a colleague’s paper on vitamin C, and he knew vitamin C acts like the steroid hydrocortisone, so on a hunch, he administered the two together. It worked. While everyone expected her to die, the woman made a remarkable overnight recovery. As reported by NBC4i News:16
“The staff couldn’t believe it, so they tried it again and again - with the same results. They added a third element, thiamine, to the IV treatment as well. Today, they have used the treatment on about 150 patients and they say the result is the same …
A researcher at Old Dominion University, John Catravas, Ph.D., … did an independent lab study that confirms the treatment’s effectiveness.”
Interestingly, Marik used a relatively small amount of vitamin C - only 1.5 grams IV. Most natural medicine physicians tend to use 25 grams or more when giving IV vitamin C, more than 20 times the dose used here. One can only wonder how much more effective a larger dose would be.
It’s All About the Right Combination of Ingredients
Download Video as MP4
For the first two or three patients, only vitamin C and hydrocortisone were used. Marik then decided to add thiamine for a number of reasons. Importantly, it’s required for metabolism of some of the metabolites of vitamin C.
Research has also shown many patients with sepsis are vitamin deficient, and when thiamine is given, it reduces mortality. Septic shock patients who receive thiamine have also been shown to have a reduced risk of renal failure.
Marik’s retrospective before-after clinical study,17,18 published in the journal Chest, showed that giving patients IV vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine (vitamin B1) for two days reduced mortality nearly five-fold, from 40 percent to 8.5 percent.
Of the 50 patients treated, only four died - and none of them actually died from sepsis. They died from their underlying disease.
Interestingly, further lab testing found that while neither vitamin C nor hydrocortisone alone are able to prevent cell death following exposure to toxins produced by bacteria, when given in combination, the concoction does protect the cells. Turns out Marik’s hunch had been a truly inspired one.
Other research has also shown thiamine reduces mortality from sepsis and helps protect against renal failure, which is why Marik decided to add it to his mixture.
The treatment has now become part of the hospital’s standard of care for sepsis, and will hopefully become standard of care for sepsis elsewhere as well. As noted by Marik, sepsis kills about 1,000 people each day in the U.S. - that’s like having three jumbo jets crash each day.
Sepsis kills more than breast cancer, colon cancer and AIDS combined, and here’s a treatment that is not only profoundly effective, but also has no side effects and is inexpensive, readily available and simple to administer. Patients and doctors really have nothing to lose by trying it.
ow you can protect your health and life in the event you have to spend time in a hospital.
