Every woman who uses tampons during her period is at risk of contracting Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). However, women under 30 years old and teens have a higher risk of getting it. The incidence of TSS is estimated to be between 1 and 17 cases of TSS per 100,000 menstruating women and girls per year.
