The symptoms are only flu symptoms! This is all my daughter had! 103.2 temp, ibuprofen brought that down, vomiting and diarrhea. That's IT! She walked into a hospital Friday and died Sunday!

If you do choose to use tampons, 100% cotton tampons are the only way to be safe. There has never been a case of TSS from the use of a 100% cotton tampon. These are not sold at Walmart, Target, Walgreen or in CVS stores. You have to order them online or go to a health food store.
