Teaching female adolescents about the association between toxic shock syndrome and the use of tampons is important.The teaching should include not using superabsorbent tampons; not leaving the tampon in for longer than 4 to 6 hours; alternating the use of tampons with sanitary napkins; washing hands before inserting a tampon to decrease the chance of introducing pathogens; and informing a health care provider if a sudden high fever,vomiting,muscle pain,dizziness,or a rash that looks like a sunburn appears.
