how long wear a tampon
(1) You must already have the particular strain of Staph in your system, which only around 1 in 5 women do. (2) You must leave a tampon in for an exceedingly long period of time- the boxes say 8 hours to be extremely safe, but it's rare for TSS to occur in someone who left them in less than 18 hours. (3) Usually a person is immunocompromised already BEFORE the issue occurs, making you more likely to get sick.
