Abaphenyi baseCanada balinganisela ukuthi iziteleka ze-TSS kuphela .79 kwabesifazane abangu-100 000, kanti amacala amaningi athinta amantombazane asakhula. "Abayiboni imiphumela eyingozi engaba khona, kuyilapho abesifazane asebekhulile benolwazi oluncane," kusho uRamos-Gonzales.

Ukushiya i-tampon yakho usuku lonke akuyona ukuphela kwendlela yokuthola i-TSS, noma kunjalo. Uke wafaka i-super-absorbency tampon ngosuku olulula lwesikhathi sakho ngoba bekuyiyona yodwa esikhwameni sakho? Sonke besikhona, kepha kuwumkhuba obalulekile ukugqashula. "Awufuni ukuba ne-tampon kulokhu okungaphezu kokumunca okudingayo ngoba kulapho singena engozini enkulu," kusho uRamos-Gonzales. "Uzogcina unezinto eziningi zetampon ezingadingeki, futhi kulapho amabhaktheriya ekwazi ukufinyelela okokusebenza kwe-tampon."

"Uma amagciwane esegazini, aqala ukukhulula bonke lobu buthi obuqala ukuvala izitho ezihlukene," kusho uRamos-Gonzales.

Izimpawu zokuqala zifana ncamashi nomkhuhlane. Ukusuka lapho, i-TSS ingathuthuka ngokushesha, isuke ekubeni nomkhuhlane iye kumfutho wegazi ophansi iye ekuhlulekeni kwesitho phakathi kwamahora ayisishiyagalombili, ngokusho kocwaningo olwanyatheliswa kujenali. Imithi Yezokwelapha. Izinga lokushona kwe-TSS lingafinyelela kumaphesenti angama-70, abacwaningi bathole, kepha ukulithola kusenesikhathi kuyisihluthulelo sokuphila. Nakuba kuyivelakancane, phuthuma kudokotela uma ucabanga ukuthi i-toxic shock syndrome ingaba isizathu sokuba uzizwe ushisa.
