It&#8217;s caused by the release of poisonous substances from an overgrowth of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus, or staph, which is found in many women&#8217;s bodies. Toxic shock syndrome affects menstruating women, especially those who use super-absorbent tampons. The body responds with a sharp drop in blood pressure that deprives organs of oxygen and can lead to death. People who die from toxic shock are killed by the body&#8217;s response to the poisons released by staph bacteria. Most people suffer hypotensive shock, in which the heart and lungs stop working.<\/p>\n<p>If you are menstruating and have a high fever with vomiting, especially if you have been using tampons, you must get medical help right away.
