女士們注意了：衛生棉可能會引起中毒休克綜合症(Toxic Shock Syndrome)

小貓剛才替老婆做一點衛生棉條的研究，發現下麵的statement。

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.

看來，衛生棉的選擇要慎重。既然，衛生棉可能引起中毒症狀，所以建議女士們盡量避免轉基因棉花做的，少化學添加劑的棉條。因為現在轉基因棉花不標示，而且占市場絕大部分份額。所以， 建議女士們用有機標示的，不是氯漂白， 不加香味劑的的衛生棉。
