警惕！卫生棉可能会引起中毒休克综合症 (Toxic Shock Syndrome)

小猫刚才替老婆做一点卫生棉条的研究，发现下面的声明。

Tampons are associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare but serious disease that may cause death. Please consult the product insert for further information. WARNING SIGNS OF TSS ARE, FOR EXAMPLE, SUDDEN FEVER (USUALLY 102° F OR MORE), VOMITING, DIARRHEA, FAINTING OR NEAR FAINTING WHEN STANDING UP, DIZZINESS, OR A RASH THAT LOOKS LIKE A SUNBURN. IF THESE SIGNS OR OTHER SIGNS OF TSS APPEAR, YOU SHOULD REMOVE THE TAMPON AT ONCE, DISCONTINUE USE, AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. 

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT TSS:There is risk of TSS to all women using tampons during their menstrual period. TSS is a rare but serious disease that may cause death. There are scientific studies that have concluded that tampons contribute to the cause of TSS. The reported risks are higher to women under 30 years of age and teenage girls. The incidence of TSS is estimated to be between 1 and 17 cases of TSS per 100,000 menstruating women and girls per year.

看来，卫生棉的选择要慎重。既然，卫生棉可能引起中毒症状，所以建议女士们尽量避免转基因棉花做的，少化学添加剂的棉条。因为现在转基因棉花不标示，而且占市场绝大部分份额。所以， 建议女士们用有机标示的，不是氯漂白， 不加香味剂的的卫生棉。
